My students are beautifully diverse. They are bright, funny, and enjoy learning. Only a small percentage of them are prepared with school supplies. It's tough to imagine, but many of their parents have to prioritize and just cannot afford to load their backpacks with new paper, pencils, markers, glue and shiny folders. We have a wonderful classroom and awesome lessons ahead. It is only September and our supplies are already seriously depleted. We are not departmentalized, so the students are getting all of their subjects in one classroom. This is a lot of planning. Our grade level has already depleted our paper supply. Help us continue to create reading and math packets that are rigorous and provide the students with the practice they need to succeed!
