My Project

These school supplies will allow the students to have ready to go supplies they can use when needed. These supplies are frequently used in the classroom and used up quickly. I want to provide my students with all the basic materials they will need to be successful throughout the year. The supplies include pencils, erasers, paper clips, staples, etc. Based on past years, this order will supply our class for most of the school year.

I want to start the year off with all the supplies we need to get the year started worry free for both the students and the parents.

Basic school supplies is sometimes difficult for families to purchase for their child. This order will allow for an easy and stress free transition back to school and our classroom will be ready to start the year. My students and I would love to have these supplies to start our year and be ready to learn.
