My Project

School supplies are essential to a school classroom and student learning. Thinking ahead as we are about to enter a new school year, I would like to support my students' everyday learning with new and fresh school supplies. Many of my students begin the school year with no school supplies and need pencils, colored pencils, notebooks, and cleaning supplies to keep our class healthy and clean.

It can be difficult for students who struggle to focus in the classroom when its learning time.

The sensory fidgets will be used to ensure the students have necessary materials to help with the everyday stress and anxiety that may arise, especially with ADHD and anxiety. The markers, multiplication pops will be used for math academic learning during both whole group and small group centers.

Providing my students with the necessary school supplies to be successful is a great way to start their middle school experience.

These school supplies will support learning in the classroom. Students will have brand-new items to support their creativity. It will mean the world to my students to begin the school year with these excellent school supplies.
