My Project

I am seeking a bag full of fun and educational supplies to help ease my students into summer vacation. I am requesting workbooks, picture books, chapter books, bubbles, frisbees, crayons, pencils, and a bag to pack it all into.

Students can lose so much of what they've learned over the summer and these supplies will help them keep reading and learning over summer break.

Many of my students don't have books at home so this will be a wonderful gift for them to keep for themselves. The workbook will help them keep working on the skills they've learned this year.
