My Project

My project request is for back to school essentials. I am requesting glue, markers, card stock, and tape. This will help to make sure I am ready Day 1 for students. I am also requesting new Playdoh which students will be eager to use right away.

Kids love summer so let’s make back to school time something special!

Not all kids get to go back to school supply shopping. Having new glue sticks ready for my students will give them the same experience of getting the new supplies

The students I work with learn through hands on activities. When we create projects on paper, using card stock makes it more secure. I love to proudly display my students work!
