My Project

Every school year brings new excitement and opportunities. In order to give my students their best chance at success, they need the right supplies. The requested pens, colored pencils, organizers, and Kleenex tissues will be used daily by students. The cord management system and glue gun will be used to make our classroom run smoothly.

Having a well-stocked and efficient classroom helps us to focus on the real task of learning.

This is especially important to students after the pandemic.

These supplies will last throughout the year (well maybe not the Kleenex!). All of the requested supplies will make the school year more meaningful for my students.
