My Project

We are requesting dry erasers and dry-erase markers to help us complete our Fundations instruction. During Fundations, we use dry-erase boards to write words and sentences. We started the year with a set of dry-erase markers, but they have mostly dried out. We also need dry erasers so that we do not have to continue using our Kleenex Tissues as erasers.

In addition to our dry-erase materials, we are requesting scissors, paper storage bins, and folders to help us complete and store our assignments.

The scissors are useful tools that we need for completing our tasks. We work on projects in our class and we don't have enough scissors for each student. The folders and storage bins will help us keep our work organized.
