My Project

We are getting ready to kick off the 2024-25 school year! The supplies we are using in the classroom were purchased or donated over the years since 2015. Some items, like clipboards, are almost 10 years old. By bringing this project to life, we will be able to replace some worn-out items and replenish consumables like dry-erase markers, labels, and other stationery. The Scotch PRO 4-Roller Laminator, AFMAT Electric Three-Hole Punch, and Electric Stapler will make our daily lesson preparation more efficient, allowing us to dedicate more time to creating engaging lessons. Additionally, we need various types of folders, Ziploc bags, and cleaning tools to keep our classroom organized, neat, and tidy so that all the supplies are easily accessible at any time.

With these essential supplies, our first-grade students will be able to focus more on their learning while being fully equipped and enjoying a clean and healthy environment.

The beginning of a new year brings fresh starts and exciting opportunities for learning! We are hoping that a successful start will lead to a successful year of first grade.
