My Project

We need basic supplies for our classroom.

Having proper supplies in the classroom can enrich engagement, student learning, and classroom management.

We need erasers, notebooks, folders, and pencils. The pencils we use every single day, as well as the erasers. The folders are for our take-home/communication folders between parents and teachers and the notebooks will be used for journaling, writing, drafts, ideas, and vocabulary. The red smaller notebooks will be used for our Red words, aka our Orton Gillingham sight words. Thank you in advance for your support.
