My Project

In my classroom, we are in need of folders, disinfectant wipes, pencil case, desk nameplate, and gift cards.

My students are special because they strive for greatness in all subject areas.

When they struggle with a concept they challenge themselves to never give up and show perseverance.

The folders will be used to keep students work organized and neat. This holds them accountable and responsible for keeping up with their work. The disinfectant wipes are used to keep us safe and healthy in the classroom. The pencil cases are not only needed for students to use to store their pencils or crayons, but to put spelling words in for fluency. The desk name plates are for students to know their worth in the classroom, and see their name displayed for recognition. Plus, the gift cards are for incentives to reward students who achieve success in class.
