Successful Beginnings

Help me give my students the supplies we will need for the first days of school. We will use all the items for our work, and to create our All About Me projects. We would really appreciate it.

My Project

The items I am requesting for my students will help store their work, along with giving them sheet protectors to hold the important resources I give them, like synonyms for words, five senses words, adjectives and adverbs, and English rules for writing. Each child received a folder, which is called their Writing Folder. This resource is used all year by my students and added to regularly to teach our kids how to use their resources.

We also create an All About Me project that allows the children a chance to share who they are as a person.

We use watercolor pencils to add color to our work, but I only have 12 packs of watercolor pencils. I thought by getting three packs of 50 pencils, it should give every ten students a better chance to mix up their colors to make the artwork more dramatic.
