There Is No Time To Waste In Our School Day!

My students need to stay on track. We only have so many minutes in each school day and EVERY minute counts. We need these supplies, like 2 timers, an automatic stapler, and math vocabulary pocket chart cards, to streamline our routines.

My Students

Our school day seems to fly by and we need to cherish every second! Having timers and other shortcuts, we will help keep our classroom on point and focused on the task in front of us.

My students are so awesome!

I teach on the south side of Chicago. Our school isn't in the nicest of neighborhoods, but every single day, ALL of my students show up ready to learn. My students don't usually have the needed resources to be successful, but I try my hardest to provide them with everything that they need to compete with the best!

My Project

We have a very short time in our school day and I have so much to share and learn from my students. Since every second counts in our classroom, these timers will help us stay on track and allow us to have a productive day. I often have students asking me how much longer they have to complete the task. These timers and other time savers will eliminate those questions.

My students and I have no time to waste!

We need to stay on track and make sure that our routines and learning stays within our given time frame. There is also an added bonus. Having a large display will give my students' some accountability in their time management.
