My Project

In our RTI classroom, we serve over 75 students so we use a lot of materials. Therefore, I am requesting several materials that are very basic like envelopes and folders for our filing system.

Each student has an individual homework folder to practice fluency passages and sight words, so we are asking for new folders since some of them wear out each year.

We are also requesting Play-Doh for our kindergarten group to practice creating letters and words. Lastly, we are requesting large binder clips to reinforce letter cards and word cards.

We thank you for all of your help with our classroom projects!
