My Project

As we get back to school this year I am requesting some basic supplies to keep our classroom going and learning at a maximum in my classroom. At the end of each day, my students and I use all tapes, staplers and velcro for hanging up our work and posters. I believe that keeping students and teachers in an organized and colorful environment will help contribute to teaching and learning.

My students need basic supplies to help keep our work and classroom organized and keep up a colorful learning experience.
