I am hoping to buy a class set of books so each student can have their own to read in my classroom! We are beginning to dig into lit studies and kids become strong, independent readers when they have access to their own materials. Water bottles are needed this year because drinking fountains are closed due to Covid. I'd love to give each student their own refillable water bottle so they are able to have access to water without any inconvenience! Lastly, my students come from a variety of backgrounds and often need stress reducing options when they walk in my room. Fidget toys and stuffed animals make them feel at home and are often encouraging for them to do well in school. They are even some of my student's best friends.
