My Project

Our classroom is looking to add lots of items that allow students to visually display their thinking and learning. Often times we record in notebooks that are then stored in our desks for no one to see. Our vision for the upcoming year is to put our thoughts and learning on display for all to see. We are asking for lots of writing instruments, paper and display items to help achieve this goal. No one like to work on an empty stomach so there are snack requests as well. Additionally, because all work and no play is not the best way to achieve balance, there are some games in the request. Our students are looking forward to a fantastic year or learning.
