My Project

I am requesting reams of paper to use for this School year and hopefully next School year. Kindergarten uses many materials for learning including pencils, glue, and of course paper. My School was recently categorized as a Title one School based on certain demographics and having paper of my own will help me not make an impact on my School's supply. I want to also teach my Students that objects, even paper costs money and we must use it wisely.

I plan on talking with the Students about the cost of paper and supplies and how we must treat our things with respect and use only what we need.

The students will learn how much each piece of paper costs so they know how precious our supplies are. Stating early with Fiscal Responsibility looks many ways, and this is the way it looks for Kindergarten. The Students will also use the paper for writing, labeling, and art projects. We use multiple pieces a day-per-student. We were asked not to use as much this year from our School but this is just what we need! Thank you!
