My Project

I would really love new desk caddies for my tables. These caddies will have pencils, scissors, markers and crayons for the students to use on a daily basis. These will be at their tables to use for morning work as well as small group instructions. I would also like a new calendar because we are missing some numbers that have gotten lost over the years. We do calendar on a daily basis to help understand the days of the week and months of the year. We are also in need of chair pockets for their own supplies they may need such as their journal, artwork, and other projects.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
