My Project

With the new school year coming up, I would love to give them the materials that they need to be successful as we gear up to start a new school year!

I have included specific materials that will allow them to begin the year strong as they practice their writing skills- I have included handwriting notebooks that will help the students space out their writing and practice their letter formation.

I also have added pencils and markers to help them enhance their writing! Stickers will help them feel the success as they grow in their ability to write.
