My Project

This is my first year teaching! I am looking for assistance with getting my classroom set up with some storage needs for my students. I will be teaching 5th grade platooning classes, which means I’ll have about 50 students between the two classes. The storage bins are for them to store their curriculum books, and the seat sacks will go on the chair for the platooning classes additional items.

I have included a variety of read aloud books that I plan on using the first few weeks of school and through out the school year to promote a diverse, inclusive and healthy learning environment.

There are also some whiteboard materials for the students to use during while group and small group instruction. As well as some Lysol cleaning products.

I greatly appreciate any and all support on this project!
