My Project

It's that time of year when half the school year is over and so our some much needed school supplies.

My classroom is officially out of Kleenex and paper towels, along with the 10000 pencils we had at the beginning of the year.

This project consists of many of those items, along with some markers I am running out of and erasers for the pencils. Those seem to disappear on a daily basis. Finally there is a social emotional book I believe my students will benefit from. My district takes our SEL (social emotional learning) very seriously and I feel the book will fit right in with our curriculum.
