My Project

My students will use these specific supplies, like the markers, pens and pencils, to enhance their learning. When they write in their reading logs, create rough drafts, and practice for upcoming state testing, these items will help. It can be boring, but these supplies will get those creative gears turning.

My goal for this project is to get students to write again, creating a love for it with a twist on the basic supplies.

Every day, basic items are often overlooked but are the foundation for a student's success in the classroom. They are the best and I want to give them the same!
