My Project

In this project I threw in a bunch of essential items that is needed in my classroom to promote student learning.

As a first year English teacher, I am rebuilding my bookshelf of books for my students to enjoy.

I would really appreciate these book sets that I am asking for my students to read during the first 10-15 minutes everyday to encourage their learning and imagination.

Next, I added all essential items needed for my classroom to build up on supplies. Rulers will be used for quarter projects and batteries will be used for clocks, keyboards and mouse that connect to laptop to assist those students who has a hard time seeing small letters. And a student supply shelf to house the pencil sharpener, crayons, markers, tapes, staplers, and color pencils.

Lastly, cleaning supplies due to shortage of classroom cleaners. I added mop bucket and fabaloso for my dirty floors. I normally buy trash bags out of pocket because i throw out trash from 4 bins. This time I'm requesting to have it. Puddy knifes because the desks at the school is old and has a lot of gum stuck under it, would like to clean it during the break.
