My Project

My students are amazing children who need some of the basic supplies to get the school year started. They have the right to be successful from the start with access to appropriate supplies and other supplies to help make learning fun and allow their imagination to soar. The pencils, crayons, pencil boxes, playdough, stamps, ink pads, and chart paper will help our classroom get off to the right start. The chart paper will be used to create learning posters that can easily be moved around the classroom for students to use as a resource wherever they are working. The chart paper will also allow our class to create collaborative information(classroom commitments, rules, and procedures, etc.) that is visible to the entire class. These materials will enable each student to have their materials to use during work time, as well as materials to share during play time, allowing their minds to be unleashed and creativity to take over.
