Many of my students' families are economically challenged and as a result, many come unprepared. In a perfect world, all students would come with their scissors, already sharpened pens, highlighters, glue, pens, and all the supplies needed, but as you know, Reader, the world is not perfect. Most teachers purchase their classroom supplies with their own money, and I certainly do that as well. So, if you could consider providing us with these classroom essentials, it would be absolutely awesome! That would save time in the classroom because instead of asking around who can lend a student a pair of scissors, there would be a stack available for all who need. Thank you very much for considering these classroom essentials!
