My Project

I am a first year teacher and need some extra materials to help my eighth grade social studies class. I want to create resources that I can use year after year. Right now, that is difficult to do without a laminator.

The sticky notes would help me and my students stay organized.

I use these everyday to help remind myself of things I need to do and they're also a great way to gauge where students are quickly as they leave the classroom at the end of the day.

The teachers pay teachers gift card would also help me plan out more fun and engaging lessons, something that is quite difficult to plan being a first year teacher.

I would greatly appreciate it your support in my classroom! Thank you!
