My Project

We need facial tissue, hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, paper towels, and bandaids to help ward off the flu, COVID and head cold season we are currently in the midst of! At the beginning of the school year, I had a supply of these materials; however, as we approach February, my supply is very depleted. You never realize how important these materials are to teaching and learning until you see how often kids are sneezing and coughing and needing facial tissue, Clorox wipes, and hand sanitizer.

Facial tissue, hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, paper towels, and bandaids in the classroom are as important as pencils and books!

Having these items readily available will help keep our classroom clean to encourage an optimal, healthy learning environment.
