Just Starting the Year Off Right!

My Project

As I start to think about planning next year in my classroom, I think about all the things that went really well this year and the things that I can improve on. The materials I am asking for will help make the start of our year successful.

Our homework folders are the folders that get used the most in our classroom and are constantly falling apart.

So I thought we should try some heavy duty plastic folders for this year. I am hoping these will help my students stay more organized with their documents. In my classroom, we go on a lot of trips. On the trips, students are required to wear a tag that says our school and phone number, in case they get lost. I am requesting more lanyards since my class size will be increasing this year and some of my tags from this year have broken.

I love to do art projects and these hot dog holder trays have been a lifesaver. I can put some many things in these trays, from paint to science experiment material. The doll pins are part of an end of year project where we make butterflies. All of materials that I am requesting will help our schools year run smoothly.
