My Project

With the increasing need to stay organized with multiple class rotations, these charts will allow the students to track their progress and me to stay on top of things that need to be completed. The game buzzers will allow me to make some of the lessons more interactive and fun games.

Flexible seating for the students is becoming more and more of a must have!

These seats will allow some movement and comfort from the hard plastic school chairs. Students who have difficulty seeing the board will also be able to sit closer without blocking others from seeing.

The dry erase markers and copy paper are a staple for any teachers classroom and is always in short supply. I love using my small student whiteboards but often have a shortage of markers. All of these supplies will be greatly appreciated by my students and I.
