My Project

Students need the right tools in order to be successful in school. By having crayons, my students will be able to highlight important information in their passages, color the fractions, and create wonderful art projects. In my class we do a lot of sorts for syllables, vowels spellings, math, and vocabulary to name a few. I use these sorts to make the learning fun and having glue for these activities is essential. Also, since I do a lot of sorts, having paper to glue them on is very important.

In order to keep their crayons, pencils, erasers, and rulers organized, I have them use pencil boxes.

These come in handy when they need their supplies in another class or in groups. Pencil boxes also help keep their desk neat, tidy and manageable.

Every quarter the children bring home their trackers. These trackers tell the parents how they are doing on test during that quarter. To make it easier for the students to take home all of the papers, I have them decorate a white construction paper.

Having the right tools at the kids disposal is crucial to a smooth school year. These tools will help them complete assignments and spark their creativity.
