My Project

Pencils, crayons, and markers are needed so my students can complete their daily coloring, drawing, and writing activities.

My students will use these supplies in all subject areas every single day!

I'm requesting, writing tools, colors for art, and other basic supplies to help the classroom run smoothly and other supplies that are necessary for our classroom. These supplies will be used by and assist all of our students. It is important that teachers have basic supplies to conduct the lesson for students to benefit from the delivery of instruction. Teachers are faced with the daily challenge to motivate students as well as to deliver appealing instruction to capture their attention. Our goal is to create a classroom where students are actively engaged and provide a classroom environment that offers plenty of opportunities for learning.
