My Project

These supplies are to help my student finish the school strong. My students are thoughtful, polite, and work hard everyday.

Each day we use a variety of resources, and some of them are running low- or are completely out.

We would greatly appreciate support in getting the materials for the topics we work on for the rest of the year. Students benefit greatly from hands on resources, colorful visuals, and vocabulary games. All of these "best practice" activities are included in this project.

My students work so hard and would love the support to have everything they need to be prepared for next year.
