My Project

My students are easily excitable and so much fun to teach! In being able to provide things such as pencils/colored pencils, glue sticks, a good eraser and even the occasional snack helps me to not only foster great relationships but also encourage the creativity that stems from different content we deal with everyday! My students are in their last year before middle school and with that comes many changes and a lot of different experiences everyday, having these supplies would help me continue to provide the structure necessary for their success!
