My Project

I am so lucky to have been overfunded for a previous project, so now I am spoiling my class and myself with wonderful and very useful things that I have only dreamed of having. My cart includes a laminator that will come in handy tons. I have always wanted to be able to laminate things for my students, and now my dreams can come true! I will use this to laminate labels, class cash, and countless other things to keep it safe and reusable for years!

I am also asking for organization drawers to keep my supplies tidy and organized.

Another dream I have had is to have a presentation clicker so I can be flexible and move around the room as I present information I am teaching. Lastly, I am preparing for next year by asking for Sharpies, highlighters, and pens. This is a huge relief for me as I usually pay for these things myself.

Thank you for your help!
