My Project

I know for some families buying school supplies can be difficult. This is why I do my best to ensure I have all that students will need so that families do not have to worry.

Basic school supplies should not be a privilege, but a right all students have access to.

The materials requested for this project such as glue sticks, pencils, pens, scissors, index cards, and magnetic letters will provide students with the school supplies necessary to succeed in school. Sheet protectors and whiteboards will help support student engagement and academic success. The beads will be used as a beginning of the year activity as a classroom building activity after reading the book "Our Class is a Family" by Shannon Olsen.
