My Project

What a surprise! We are heading into the beginning of a school year, and we need to restock on supplies so that our scholars are prepared. I am seeking the help of my DC family in order to help me restock for school.

My students should begin the year fully stocked with supplies and snacks, so it is my wish to have them end it the same way.

I will use the supplies to help me with daily activities. The Play-Doh will be used as an incentive to work hard and a way of encouragement to continue to meet goals. The snacks are to ensure they are not hungry and will be used to help them strive to meet their Accelerated Reader goals.
