Sometimes our headphones break or stop working, so it is nice to have a back up pair for each student. Also, it is nice to have a new classroom set of the board erasers for when we are practicing our writing skills.

Every student has at least 2 if not 3 special magic pencils in their box to inspire them to keep going even when it's tough! Also, I have used the TPT gift card to help by purchasing different resources to add to our writing curriculum and used the laminating pouches to make these resources reusable. \r\n\r\nWithout you and your generous donation, none of this would have been possible.
