We are a Title I school and due to this do not have a lot of wiggle room for supplies. I am asking for supplies that will enhance their learning and our "Nest" to make it somewhere they truly enjoy being. These kids deserve the world and then some and I spend 365 doing all that I can to give it to them. I am lucky enough to teach at an elementary school with the most amazing group of second graders! For as much as I have taught them they have taught me even more... Really. I have requested Sharpies in various colors to help make anchor charts for our walls more student friendly and "warm". I also have asked for "seat sacks" to help my students keep up with the generous gifts you have given us and lastly, clipboards to allow my students to work in various places on our elementary campus. My goal is to make learning fun and not a "chore" so learning in different places helps to mix things up and keep learning exciting! Thank you in advance!
