My students need basic supplies to start the year off right!

My Students

Students in my class come with a wide range of abilities, interests, and needs. In our integrated classroom, we have respect and understanding that each individual is different, yet equally important.

My students understand that in our class, everyone gets what they need to be successful.

One common goal we all share is motivation for learning in a fun, comfortable, and engaging classroom environment. With this, we are able to meet the needs of all the different learners at the same time.

My Project

Summer will soon be over and school is right around the corner. I am submitting a project requesting basic supplies that are needed for a successful start of the new year!

Students need good pencils, erasers, rulers and more!

It is super important to start the year off right, with the necessary supplies for an easy transition into the new school year. While it may be intimidating to begin a year with new students, a new classroom, and a new teacher, at least students can ease into it knowing that some of the supplies are supplied for them without worry!
