My Project

I have had the joy of working with some wonderful kids for the past 7 years. These are a few items that I have seen that help the room run smoothly. After years of wear and tear, some of these items are very worn and make learning more difficult some days. Student love writing phonics skills, dictating sentences, and working math problems ob whiteboards. Even after teaching how to correctly close expo markers, they just don’t last long. We go through a lot in one year. We also use sweatbands for the erasers. Students are supposed to bring their own headphones, but more times than not they don’t bring them. I supply what I can, but after a couple of years they quit working to get torn up. Our stools are ripped to shreds and have seen better days. Lastly, the drawers are used for easy storage for kids papers! Thank you so much for supporting our classroom.
