My Project

Having these items ready to start the year will be so beneficial for all students to feel like they have what they need to start the year off.

With everything costing so much these days, a lot of families are unable to provide all the supplies needed to start the year off.

If I can get the basics hopefully this will lessen the stress of the beginning of the school year for families and my students.

It is amazing how fast we go through these basic supplies. The kids are working hard and I like to have supplies on the ready when needed.

Kindergarten is often the first exposure to school that some of these kids have, they are learning how to use all these amazing tools to show me what they know.
