My Project

I am a veteran teacher. However, this is my first year teaching first grade! Therefore, I have to start over as a 1st-grade teacher, I am going to need a variety of supplies, including the writing tablets for my new and incoming 1st graders so that he or she can practice writing what I dictate by using the Post It chart paper. My students will also need the pencil grips to help them control their pencils. They will need the Pencil Sharpener to sharpen pencils and or color pencils.. I would like to have the floating shelves to display our book of the week and or our letter and number of the week as well, The rolling carts will be used to store all of my student's materials for the week.
