My Project

My students come in daily hungry for knowledge. They love love love the variety of stamps that I use for their work in their notebooks and lab books, they eagerly raise their hand to let me know they are finished and can't wait to check each time to see stamp was used and if it is one they don't have.

Even though they are 7th graders, they still love a good stamp or sticker.

The printer ink is for them to be able to print in color for various projects. The pencils and dry erase markers are to be used daily in class for those that need one. Kleenex is one classroom basic item that never hangs around long, with 5 classes, a box only lasts a few days when it isn't allergy or cold and flu season. The foam brushes are to use with our simple machines lab for another everyday type item that they can choose from. Thank you for helping me get some fun items to keep my kiddos motivated, and some everyday items that are much needed for day to day work each day. I appreciate your support; no amount is ever too small.
