My Project

The goal of this project is to have the supplies needed for a strong start! Having supplies, such as headphones, folders, and glue sticks, will allow me to help students who are unable to bring their own materials.

The stools will benefit the students who need alternative seating during lessons.

They will also help in our small groups.

Our pencil sharpeners broke last year after many years of use. The classroom is in great need of replacements.

I use colored paper for projects and newsletters home, but most of all for accommodations for my students.

The social emotional supplies will be used on our health lessons.
