My Project

I recently took over a class and am requesting some basic supplies. These supplies are not just items, but they are essential in maintaining a conducive learning environment, keeping my students organized, on task, focused, and ready to learn.

I am asking for a pencil holder to keep fresh pencils because a dull pencil should not keep a student from learning.

Additionally, desk organizers will make it easier for students to access scissors, glue, pencils, and crayons, thereby allowing them to stay focused on their tasks.

We also need paper bins to collect our work and demonstrate what we have learned.
