My Project

We have had a great school year so far. We have come together as a classroom community. We have learned classroom procedures and made good friends. We have learned how to use our school supplies and laptops. We are doing well but need a few tools to help us keep going.

My students need new backpacks to help replace their careworn backpacks used everyday to carry their laptops.

They need new pencils to replace the broken one that are missing erasers. They need new crayons for their beautiful creations. They need a few more things to help them carry on and finish the year strong.
