My Project

Each school year brings the need for new essential supplies that help make our classroom run smoothly. I am very excited and honored to begin preparing for a new school year, and the resources requested in this project will help me to prepare my classroom for another amazing year!

I am requesting essential classroom supplies that keep my classroom running smoothly througout the school year.

This project includes many essential supplies such as book baggies, post it page markers, labels, white out, Flair Pens, and dry erase markers.

Students use the book baggies to carry books from the classroom to home and back. Post it page markers are used daily in our classroom to help students mark places in their guided reading books and composition notebooks to help us not to lose time when locating pages. We use post it notes for sharing ideas during reading workshop. Students use flair pens for editing and revising during writing workshop. These are just a few examples of what we use these items for daily in our classroom.

The resources requested in this project will help me in preparing my classroom for a great school year, and I thank you in advance for your support.
