Classroom Essential Needed

My Project

Hello,

I am a 1st grade teacher and need a few extra things in the classroom to create an amazing learning environment.

I have in my cart some lights to create a low light environment where students will not be needed to sit under harsh bright tube lights. This creates a calm environment where students can thrive. I also asked for some essential oils, I already have a diffuser but ran out of the oil.

I also added some essentials such as some pens (the best teacher non transfer pens in my opinion) and some dry erasers.

Thank you so much for helping fun my classroom with the essentials we need.
