My Project

Do you remember the phone commercial with the man walking around asking the caller, "Can you hear me now?" Sometimes, I wonder if the students feel that way.

In an age of technology and online learning apps, students require a variety of supplies that have now become the new basic supplies.

In a classroom of 26-28 students, it is sometimes difficult for my students to learn when their headsets stop working. Therefore, I am asking for USB-wired Headsets to help students learn when utilizing these online platforms.

My students require hands-on and engaging resources when they are not online and they need easel pads to use for brainstorming in groups, dry-erase markers and erasers. The laminator will be used to preserve their flash cards and other "paper" manipulatives. And of course, let's not forget our traditional paper, pencils (which requires a pencil sharpener), and that chart paper for our written expression in first grade.
