My Project

My students love learning and need some basic supplies to help them be successful.

Having the right tools that are organized and easily accessible allow students to find what they need and get started quickly.

I have requested hanging file chart to keep all of our charts organized in one place. The markers will allow us to make charts as a whole class and hang them around the room to help us remember strategies and concepts that we are learning. We use pencils and pens to write in journals everyday and the lanyards, ducks and nametags help our classroom run smoothly everyday as they are used to hold passes, identify our work spaces and call on children when we are working in whole group lessons.

Thank you for helping us purchase the supplies we need to make our learning fun and successful!
