Straight Out of Pens, Highlighters and Glue!

Help me give my students much needed school supplies such as pens, highlighters, and glue.

My Project

My middle schoolers are a riot. They are curious, open minded and a lot of fun to teach. My kids love learning about history and how the past impacts the present. However, our class is in dire need of a supply refill.

At this point in the school year we are low on much needed supplies; many pens have been lost, glue used up and highlighters dried out.

As a social studies class, we read, write and highlight a lot. We also use glue because we have interactive notebooks. Being low on supplies does impact the flow and pace of our class. Being able to pass out pens, glue and highlighters would benefit all of my students and give them a boost of motivation to finish the year strong.
