My Project

We use materials during small groups, whole groups and free choice centers. Sometimes students cannot not enjoy items everyday because there not being enough or they are damaged. Items like dry erase boards, markers, and Play-Doh will be utilized by the whole classroom and provide engaging opportunities for all students to participate in various learning activities. Students will be allowed to improve writing skills and will get excited while practicing with these items. Students will enjoy the opportunity to have fresh and new supplies to enjoy during the school year. The pencils will help us prepare students for kindergarten. The items will be greatly appreciated by our class.
