My Project

My class is made up of advanced learners from multiple grade levels. They truly love to learn, absorb new information quickly, and are always ready for more. They enjoy solving puzzles, reading, and doing hands-on projects, experiments, and crafts. They are creative, inquisitive, and all-around amazing!

These basic classroom supplies will support my students throughout our day -- whether we're reading, writing, building, drawing, doing math, or anything else!

My class is an advanced content and enrichment class which students attend one day a week. Because we are not a homeroom classroom, we don't receive the "back to school list" parent-provided supplies as well as some of the other basic classroom materials. Your support of this project will mean that my students have everything they need for our core advanced content and for our creativity, critical-thinking, and STEAM activities. And we can stay organized and clean while we learn!
