My Project

The most common request I get from day to day is ¨Could I borrow some headphones?¨ or ¨Could I borrow some scissors or glue or colored pencils?"

Scissors and headphones and pencils, oh my!

Seems like a boring request... and it is, but it is possibly the most helpful set of spare materials I could possibly have in my classroom! In middle school, its not like we use these supplies every day (except for the headphones- Chromebooks are now a day to day tool for learning), but when we need them, we need them!

Whether it is "I forgot," or "My family doesn't have this," if I have a few spares it really helps to keep my class rolling along without a bunch of distracting classmate to classmate borrowing.
