My Project

These supplies will help my students be more emotionally stable, promote learning, and educational movement. Reading is a BIG, very important part of learning, and these books will be available for independent reading. The folders will serve as a communication source between myself & families.

This diverse list will give my students more choices during brain breaks, and independent choice time.

Having a choice in materials, and book selection, gives my students a head start on being able to make good decisions not only in the classroom, but out of the classroom as well.
