Keeping The Classroom Going

Help me give my students access to tools like scissors, tape, a stapler, paper, sticky notes, and paper clips. Also, help the classroom stay organized with a file area to put student assignments and durable tape.

My Project

Help provide access to tools like scissors, tape a stapler, paper, sticky notes and paper clips. Also, help the classroom stay organized with a file area to put student assignments and durable tape to display work and anchor charts that will stay in place. There is so much that goes into making a classroom work and flow. These items will allow my students to access tools they will need for assignments and also a place for me to store adjustments and completed work as there is not much file space in my current room.
