My Project

My students are special need students who need these items to help them be successful. I ordered cleaning items as well so that the classroom will be clean at all times every day especially with the winter months ahead. The reading materials are needed for my students so that they can stimulate their minds as they reading and look at the pictures. The science materials that I ordered will help my students as we explore science by doing experiments. We thank you for this opportunity and hope you will approve our order. Thank you, Mrs. B. Dumas
