My Project

Having the basics for keeping children supplied and organized is crucial to running an efficient K-2 classroom. This project will help with basic supplies for new kindergarteners entering our school program. The supplies requested such pencil boxes, crayons, pencils. and markers are especially helpful for students with little hands learning fine motor skills and expressing themselves creatively.

Students will benefit by having these supplies on hand to use throughout the school year for projects and learning, and the fidgets will help to engage students by rewarding hard work.

Positive moments in the classroom go a long way in motivating our students beyond the classroom.
