My Project

I love to welcome my students to school with all of the new supplies they're going to need! There's just something a little special about the new box of crayons, markers, and colored pencils. Children love new art and work supplies.

Many children don't get to experience that thrill of new supplies very often and I love to give them that excitement!

I'm requesting school supplies for the children to keep at their own desks and some for our shared bins. The skin-colored crayons and markers are always a favorite when students are doing artwork. I'm also requesting a few items for our classroom to help continue to make our classroom a "Home Sweet Classroom" for all of my students!
