My Project

Our hard working kiddos have been preparing all year for their end of year assessments. There are a few items we could use in our classroom to help push us to the finish line! We are in need of erasers. We do a lot of writing in literacy and complete many problems in math each day! Sharpies and labels will help me to better organize student workbooks for quick access. Kids thrive in neat and organized environments. In preparation for the End of Grade test, I would like to put together a small baggie of stress relief related items students can use to help them mentally prepare for this stressful-to-many day.

Our students are reading daily to help build their reading stamina.

They read a variety of texts and are continuously losing their place. I would love for each student to receive a bookmark that will also encourage them to read. My hopes for this project it to prepare each student mentally and academically to cross the finish line that is quickly approaching. Thank you for taking the time to check out our page!
