My Project

I am requesting classroom essentials so my students have access to these tools daily in class. I teach social studies, science, and health to the entire 6th grade class, which is about 79 students. These classroom essentials will help my students work on different projects and assignments around the room.

My students come to class eager to learn and I want to support their learning with these different tools.

They love working in groups and working on different projects. I want my students to create posters for our next project on South America.
