My Project

Now that we have been in school for almost half of the year, we need to replenish the basics to help keep our days running smoothly and effectively. My kids seem to go through crayons faster than any group I have ever had before. Pencils are always needed and are in hot demand. We use these items daily throughout all the instruction.

Since we are using technology daily in the classroom, earphones are a must!

My school requires the students to work on certain math and reading programs that are at their specific level. Because the instruction is differentiated, it is important that the students hear what is required of them, and not listen to their neighbors. Their parents have given so much, I would love to be able to provide this extra step to help make their learning a little easier for all.
