My Project

This being my first year teaching, I am lacking essential supplies such as markers and post it's for my classroom that I cannot afford. This includes pencils, tissues, coloring materials, and organizational supplies.

I will have a 5th-grade class with 25-32 students, who deserve the best learning experience.

The supplies will help me better teach my students and provide a positive classroom environment. They will have the essentials they need to participate in lessons and learning activities. I plan on using all the supplies on the list in my classroom, and believe they will meet the needs of all my unique students.
