My Project

I am always looking for ways to start the school year off as smooth as possible. But, with the start of the school year always comes the planning of what the classroom will need.

Starting off the year with supplies that are needed makes a big difference in how the first month of school goes.

I love being able to provide students with as many supplies as possible. I do not always know who can or cannot afford to come to school prepared. The markers, colored pens, and other supplies are items that students will use daily. The large chart pads are helpful with everyday lessons and examples that can be put on display to help visual learners understand what we are learning.
