My Project

I love that my students begin each school year with enthusiasm and a "quill" to do their best. They enter my classroom bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I love to present them with items they can use to reveal their creativity, background knowledge, and potential.

These resources will help them flourish by starting the year properly knowing they have what they need.

Students will be able to use classroom sets of basic supplies to complete assigned tasks, work collaboratively, and maintain an open mindset. These Quill products will help students start and finish strong this year!
