My Project

Having a laminator in our classroom will help me allow my students easy access to literacy and math centers. This allows them to be able to complete the centers with ease because they are able to use the wet erase markers. The wet erase market make it easy for my students to be able to erase and start fresh when a new group is rotating.

The crayons and markers will be used throughout the day to allow students the ability to express themselves and be creative through their own art work.

These supplies will help my students create beautiful art work that will be displayed in our classroom and school hallways, as well as art work to be displayed at home.
