General Supplies for a Pack of Wild Creatures

Help me give my students general classroom supplies. The most expensive item on the list is a printer that can print in color as our school printers and copiers only use b/w.

My Project

As you can see the supplies listed below cover a variety of different uses for a variety of different students. This is my first year as a teacher which means I walked into an empty white room that did not exactly convey warmth and intellectual safety. The variety of different items is therefore an attempt to provide my students with everything that they might need to become successful, happy, well-adjusted students.

The printer seems obvious, but the main reason is due to my school not having color capabilities for their printers/copiers.

There are also a lot of students who have just come from ELL class and I have noticed that having colored worksheets can benefit those students that rely on visuals for both learning as well as maintaining their interest.

I also had the ELL students in mind when I picked up a few headphones, as auditory learners, my ELL students can benefit drastically from audio books for both pronunciation and inflection.
