My Project
Well the school year is coming to the end so it is time to plan for September. Can you believe I am in need of pencils? I can not believe it but we do. Not all my students come to school with what they need everyday so pencils are vital in the classroom to have for our students.
Colored pencils and writing pencils are used everyday in my classoom.
We do not have any so I want my students to have everything they need to reach their goals. Crayons are another item that are used daily. Our room is in need of the basic supplies to have an awesome school year!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
