My Project

This project is addressing an ages old concern- our fresh new supplies from the beginning of the year are dwindling!! This project will help my students finish the year as strong as they started it.

Everyone loves opening that new crayon box or sharpening those colored pencils for the first time, but at this point in the year, that feeling is long gone as are the supplies we started the year with.

Returning from the holiday break to these old supplies is dismal. But- imagine a whole new set of supplies laid out on desks to welcome students back to school for the second half of the year!!

This project will help me to do just that. Fresh brand new supplies to use for fresh brand new projects to fuel learning throughout the rest of the school year.
