Classroom Essentials

Help me give my students school supplies for the start of the upcoming school year. This year I will have to teach both 7th and 6th grade and would really appreciate help with materials for both classrooms.

My Project

These materials will provide them with the necessary tools to be able to complete work and have a clean learning environment. Something that I love about my students is how lively they are. They add into the fun of history by providing their own interpretations that make history more relevant to today. They also value a clean working environment and will often spend time helping me clean between class periods and disinfect desk at the end of the day.

I will have many of their siblings this upcoming year and many have told me that their siblings are excited and ready to be just as lively and helpful as they were.
