A Terrific Start to the Year

Help me give my students supplies to kick off our year and excite our love for learning!

My Project

Starting the year with new supplies is always exciting! This project is a blend of many different supplies to kick off our school year with materials to help us feel successful.

We all know that adding a supply that is colorful or sticky can add a new level of excitement.

We add fun to our learning with bright colored markers, pens, and sticky notes that allow us to share our thoughts and learning with others.

The explorer hats and vests will allow every student to shine while we learn about them as the "Explorer of the Week."

Labels are used to help us keep our classroom organized and to highlight our art projects so others can see them!
