Classroom Basics for New Teacher

Help me give my students some essentials to keep our classroom running! These supplies will support student workstations, help keep phones secured and unused, and help keep me organized.

My Project

Starting the school year there were some supplies I had not anticipated needing, and this project is to ameliorate that problem. Some key elements of the project are further materials needed for my Building Thinking Classrooms setup, marker and paper holders for whiteboard stations, some healthy snacks to energize students, some organizational tools for myself, and a phone charging station and cart so that students are less frustrated and nervous about storing their phones in the classroom away from themselves so that they stay focused and engaged.

I know that with these small adjustments to my classroom, students and I will feel the difference in the function and flow of the class.

I appreciate any support you're able to give!
