My Project

As we are coming to the last few months of the school year I want to finish strong. There are just a few things that I really need to finish out the school year with these great children.

Having these basic materials will keep things running smoothly as well as keep my students engaged and excited to come to school.

Having things for them so they are ready to learn is key in keeping them engaged. Having end of the year folder for them is something I love to do. This keeps all their memories in one place.

When so many students are coming in and out of my classroom it is so important to stay stocked with things like glue, paper, and pencils. Having a rolling cart for these materials is so important so that we can all stay organized. Also, being able to supply them with everything they need right in my room is great, so they don't need to go to other rooms to grab things.
