My Project

My students would be so happy to each get a new box of crayons for when they color their illustrations for their writing, the pictures they create for their book reviews, and the crafts they create. They will also be excited to each get their own expo marker for when they are using their individual whiteboards to answer math questions or practice writing sentences.

We have 3 and a half months left until the end of the school year, and we have started to run low on consumable supplies.

The class would greatly benefit from getting a fresh batch of items that the students use every day, like crayons, erasers, colorful paper, and markers. Because these items are used every day, we go through them quickly as they get lost, damaged, used up, or dried out over time. Getting new supplies would set my students up for success so they complete the year strong.
