My Project

It is time to restock our classroom! We have been having so much fun learning this year that we are running out of supplies.

Please help us restock the parts of our classroom that are close to running out of supplies or that we have already run out of.

Our art area is running out of crayons, markers, and colored pencils. The dot markers have also been well loved this year and could use a refresh. Our scissors are quickly dwindling in numbers or have been used enough that they no longer work. We are almost out of pencils of both sizes as our littles have been practicing their writing skills as well.
