Classroom Consumables

Help me give my students tissues for their drippy noses, erasable pens and dry erase markers for those who don't like the feel of pencils and paper, laminating sheets to make dry erase worksheets.

My Project

This project is to provide daily consumables for my classroom. Items to create dry erase activities such as laminating sheets and dry erase markers. I have kiddos who do not like writing with pencil due to the sensory feedback and will use erasable pens instead. We also need cleaning items to keep our toys and room clean during cold and flu season. Tissues are needed for the little drippy noses!

I love my students and want to provide the learning environment they need and deserve..

My students with special needs deserve everything, however I personally can't keep up with those needs.
