My Project

Students in our classroom spend a lot of time working in small groups, learning in work centers. I have requested some science materials to begin building a more engaging experience for my students as they work in their science center. I have also asked for some literacy and math tools, and art supplies to enhance student learning in those centers also.

Many students in our inclusion classroom come from low income families.

They use dry erase markers on a daily basis. We are already getting low on these supplies, and the school year isn't even half over. Students use the folders to organize their work by subjects and we do not have any left for new students who will enroll throughout the school year.
