My Project

First grade is so much fun, but it is extremely busy!

We go through our supplies quickly, so I would love to stock up on some basics so that we do not run out during the year.

Most importantly, we need a new pencil sharpener. Our current one is too small to handle our class size, and I believe it has already lived it's best life. This project will also provide us with extra glue sticks for the many cut and paste activities that we do. The sheet protectors and dry erase markers will be used in student folders so students can use their math and phonics work mats as a dry erase surface, saving money on paper and printer ink in the long run. The Play-doh will help students by providing them a brain break when they need one while strengthening their fine motor skills. These basic supplies will keep us learning in fun ways all year long!
