My Project

I am excited to be returning to the classroom after spending time in a small group setting. I am looking to fill our classroom with basic needs for a successful year. I plan on giving my students options for flexible seating during independent learning, such as using the clipboards. We will be using the whiteboards daily for math and phonics in whole group instruction. I am requesting a laminator and supplies to laminate my students name tags and other classroom materials to ensure a successful year. My students will use playdough for brain breaks. The chair bands will help students that benefit from movement. Thanks for considering donating to our classroom. I can't wait to be back teaching in a whole group classroom again!
