My Project

All of these materials are essential to our first-grade classroom community! Without your support, our classroom is not provided with these basic but important supplies. Students will make daily use of pencils, and will use dry erase markers to complete work and play whiteboard learning games. Students love to have snack time with foods like popcorn and fruit snacks. The timers, puppy squishes, and stress balls will help students develop social-emotional skills, such as taking a break in the calm down corner. Several of the materials will help make sure our classroom is looking sharp and inviting. Further, simple things like wipes and Swiffer pads will allow us to keep our room clean. By having all of these needs met, students will be able to focus on the most important aspect of school, their learning!
