A Fresh Start for the Classroom Teacher

Help me give my students a classroom environment that is well supplied with lessons created with print/stock paper along with highlighters that will give their little eyes a place to focus on when making revisions to their work.

My Project

Classroom student supplies that teachers have to restock themselves can include everything from dry-erase markers and paper towels, tissue, different sizes of ziploc baggies to items as basic as pencils and crayons for their students. The aforementioned student supplies have to be purchased and repurchased throughout a school year, and then again the next year when students are back in the classrooms. Aside from the basic school supplies required for each student, teachers are in need of their own personal supplies to ensure that lessons, work flow and classroom organization continue uninterrupted. It is imperative that teacher only supplies are replenished every school year as well. Teacher only supplies are tools that allow the teacher to do his/her best in the classroom for their students.
