My Project

Hello. We are the 42 reliable Rams from Maywood, California. We are a 4/5 class. Our classroom is filled with energetic and motivated learners, that like to face new and exciting challenges.

Our class would like some materials and supplies to use over our winter break.

These materials, such as books and pens, will keep us engaged in our learning during the break. We will use these books to read over winter break, as well as use the pens to work on our art skills. Also, it will give us some time away from our technology devices, so we are not on them all the time. Thank you for your time and consideration. It is greatly appreciated. From, 42 Reliable Rams
