My Project

The items I’m requesting are all for the year and very helpful for teaching first grade:

Card stock-26 copies of 100 sight words per student

Construction Paper- art projects

Pens and markers- art

Glue-refill glue bottles

Paper-photocopying packets, printing for interactive journals and workshop printable, and weekly newsletters

Envelopes-transferring work and homework home and to school

These will help me set up my school year for students to all begin the year at the same starting point. The goal is to be prepared for them each day with the necessary supplies to be successful.
