My Project

The supplies in my cart will help to set up my class for success. The Post-it poster paper will be used to model writing and math concepts for students. The brooms and wipe will help all students to contribute to a clean classroom.

All of these classroom supplies will help students have what they need to engage with learning in the classroom.

Wall paper and borders will be used to display students brilliant work! All of the materials will help to maintain a beautiful and functional classroom for students.
