My Project

Classrooms need to be inviting and organized. My students would benefit from having basic classroom supplies like a kid-friendly pencil sharpener and a crayon sharpener to help maintain their personal school supplies.

Knowing that all students do not learn the same way can present a challenge for any teacher.

The items that I have requested would help me reach all learners. From demonstration tools for math like a magnetic number line to individual fraction whiteboards, the items will allow me to show different concepts in multiple ways. Writing books and pencil weights will improve student writing as they prepare to take the state tests.

I know that my students would love new wooden stools for when they come to meet with me in small groups. My students will benefit from organized anchor charts and posters that we make every day. Thank you!
