My Project

Students arrive in the gifted room for instruction without school supplies. The supplies parents purchase usually arrive in the regular classroom and stay there which is the way it should be. However, my students will also need supplies for our projects in our busy, creative classroom.

Crayons, both regular and skin-colored, and also colored pencils, regular and skin-colored, will allow my students to work on projects with supplies in the gifted classroom.

These supplies will be placed in plastic shoe boxes for students to share during their gifted instruction.
