My Project

We are one semester in, with one semester to go of my first year as a classroom Math teacher! I have a great sense now of what kind of supplies I need to best support my wonderful students!

Many of my students could use support with keeping organized, so I would like to set up hanging folders with each student's name on it, so they can store their notes and papers in the classroom if they prefer.

This will be an economic solution I can use year after year that won't take too much space in the classroom. It will also give me an easier way to pass back papers!

Finally, I am in desperate need of some cleaning supplies. My dry erase boards are in a dire state, and we need paper towels and tissues. I also need a stapler that opens for tacking on to the bulletin board - my beautiful displays and posters are hanging on by a thread!

I know my students will appreciate a better organized and cleaner classroom!
