My Project

I would love to have these supplies in our classroom to help it run more smoothly. We can benefit from a pencil sharpener and quality pencils so we spend more time learning and less time sharpening!

Making mistakes is a great thing in our classroom since we learn from them and it shows we are not afraid to take risks!

We do need some erasers to fix our mistakes and make our work look like a masterpiece.

Lastly, we need to add a little fun to our learning. I would love to have time during our week to read silently around the classroom using flashlights. We also need a few activities to keep our brains busy during indoor recess time.
