My Project

My goal is to get my students many supplies to help them be successful in the classroom.

The chair will be used for my star student of the week to help them to feel special on their special week.

The Clorox wipes will help keep my classroom clean from all the germs.

The laminating pouches will help me to create activities for my students.

The popsicle sticks will help my students count our 100 days of school.

The motivational chart with help my students to stay motivated and successful in the classroom.

The pencil sharpener is for the students to give them the opportunity to independently sharpen their own pencils in the classroom.

The pencil boxes and crayons are things many of my students need and don't bring in. I'd love to have extra for the kids that don't bring them to school.
