My Project

Help provide my students with the necessary classroom supplies to enhance their creativity and learning. With items like scissors, whiteboard markers, and origami paper, we will be able to engage in hands-on activities, group work, and exciting lessons!

How These Supplies Will Be Used:

Scissors will support our arts and crafts projects, helping students express their creativity.

Whiteboard markers, erasers, and clipboards will allow for interactive learning, where students can easily jot down ideas, solve problems, and work in a collaborative setting.

Pencils, Sharpie markers, and composition books are essential for everyday writing, drawing, and organizing thoughts in a fun, organized way.

Origami paper will be used to develop fine motor skills and explore geometric concepts through paper folding.

Pencil pouches will help students keep their supplies organized and ready to use at all times.

Whiteboard wallpaper will turn the walls into interactive spaces where we can brainstorm, solve problems, and display student work.

Access to these supplies is crucial for creating an environment where students can engage in hands-on, interactive, and creative learning. With these resources, students will have the freedom to explore different learning styles, engage in team projects, and develop critical thinking skills.

Mrs. Hanford will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 21.
