My Project

Happy New Year! Students look around the classroom when they return from Winter Break, hoping for new and exciting activities and well-organized supplies. As each school year progresses, papers appear in strange places, markers run out of ink, and the activities straight from the book seem to lose their sparkle. January gives everyone a chance to start fresh and add a bit of new inspiration to learning.

Students need fun new doodle notes and vocabulary games, inspiring tools to keep assignments organized, and engaging hands-on activities like ocean creature specimens and sea monkeys.

The Ocean in a Box and the water cycle interactive bulletin board will jump-start our study of Ecology, while the Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards will provide exciting, hands-on color-by-number activities for our next investigations of geology, land, water, and human interactions.

Winter and Spring bring a variety of quizzes, deadlines, and school activities which students need to keep track of. Inspiring calendars help students keep their planners up-to-date. Students will be excited to turn their assignments and notebooks into a new organization system of pink paper trays.
