Ms. Hess Mabelvale Elementary School

Mabelvale, AR Grades PreK-2

My Project

My project consists of kleenex, art supplies, and classroom basics.

The classroom basics include scotch tape, glue sticks, pencil grips, sharpies, laminating pouches, backpacks, command hooks, cardstock, zipper pouches, binder rings, labels, velcro, floor lamps, dry erase markers, crayons, folders, led lights, color pencils, spiral notebooks, clorox wipes, stickers, pete the cat bulletin board set, pete the cat cutouts, and better than paper bulletin board paper.

The Kleenex will be used to keep the classroom healthy and thriving. The glue sticks, pencil grips, sharpies, backpacks, zipper pouches, dry erase markers, crayons, folders, color pencils, notebooks, stickers are all the very basic school supplies needed for each student. This project will allow students, who don't bring supplies, to have some on the first day. It will also allow them to use these supplies to use their imagination and create art. The scotch tape is an essential because it's used to hold their nameplates in place so they are able to learn how to spell their name. The laminating pouches are a basic school supply because it allows their work to stay safe and neat. The command hooks will be used on their desk so they can have somewhere to place their backpack. The cardstock will be used to create parent letters for the first week of school and to allow them to use their imagination to create art. The binder rings will be used for goal cards throughout the year. The floor lamps and led lights will be used for light around the room. We don't have any windows in our classroom and the regular lights are very bright. The lamps and led lights will allow us to have light while also turning off the regular lights. This will create a calming environment.
