My Project

Students need to know where they can find materials they need quickly as they enter the classroom. The mail organizer will be a place students can go to to pick up materials they need for the class period. They also can find any work that has been graded. Each student will have their own personal space in the mail organizer. Pencils are a must in order to take notes and be ready to work. Glue sticks are needed for projects and hands on learning. Laminating sheets help to protect notes to hang up for visuals.

An important basic supply is a snack.

Having a quick snack available for a student who is hungry can help they focus and learn. The goldfish and cereal bars will help to fill a hunger pain they may be feeling. These basic supplies are simple, yet needed weekly by all students to succeed in the classroom
