My Project

Help us start off right with a box of basic supplies that will make sure our classroom has what it needs to take notes, write essays, keep track of time, and show off our work. As we move into the new year, I'd like us all to start with the supplies we'll need to hit the ground running: paper, pens, tape, etc. In addition, I just moved rooms, and I'd like some wall hangings to use as bulletin board backgrounds.

These supplies will make sure we have what we need to learn and that we look good doing it!
