My Project

What I love most about my students is their genuine appreciation for being at school.

Being an educator and creating a safe and loving learning environment is near and dear to my heart, and these classroom essentials will ensure we have everything we need this school year to be successful.

All items that I selected will make a difference in my students' learning as they will have all the materials they need on a daily basis. Students will benefit from a clean and tidy learning environment with the cleaning supplies I selected. Students will have essentials to complete daily work with the pencils, paper, pens, markers and other writing implements I selected. Students will also benefit greatly from the dry erase components I selected as I plan to move into more interactive ways for students to learn which includes white boards.

My goal for this project is that all of my students have the essentials they need each day to acquire all of the knowledge presented to them in a comfortable fashion.

Thank you so much for your help!
