My Project

Summer is on the horizon, but I cannot wait to meet and greet my new third graders when a new school year begins!

My new students are in need of some supplies to be successful here at school.

I am asking for electric pencil sharpeners so my students can sharpen up their pencils easily each morning. I am asking for pastel pencils because that is more fun than regular yellow. I am asking for name tags that matches the theme of my classroom along with laminating pouches so I can laminate the name tags and put adhesive magnets on each tag, one for each student. I am asking for Crayola crayons in bulk so each of my students have a new box of crayons (there's nothing like a fresh set of crayons!) and a zipper pouch to keep the crayons in. Lastly I am asking for fun erasers because my students are able to earn one from the treasure chest during the weekly pencil check, to make sure my students are responsibly caring for their pencils.

Please help me supply my students with supplies they need to be successful. Thank you for your consideration.
