My Project

Our students are excited about learning. They are very curious and works hard each day.

To continue our work, we need some classroom supplies so that we are ready to do more explorations!

With the cold and allergy season upon us, the students need tissues and wipes to help keep the classroom clean and healthy. Laminating pouches will allow us to make more signs and reference sheets for classroom use. The students will also need new folders to keep their new unit materials organized. A digital clock with a timer will help us stay on track during class. A door stopper and magnet will allow us to keep the door open during class periods. The erasers will help us keep the board clean. Finally, chargers will help keep our Chromebooks powered up. We strive to maintain a classroom environment where students have everything they need to continue their learning!
