Let’s Get This Started!

My Project

I am a new teacher getting ready to start my first full school year! I have not met my group of students yet, but I am so excited to get to know and learn more about them. I am hoping to get these materials to set us all up for success this school year. The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will allow me to find engaging activities in Math, Science, ELA, and Social Studies for my students. The folders will help my students stay organized between the subjects. The other materials such as the colored pencils and the expo markers will help with coloring on both paper and the whiteboard. The rulers will be used in math mostly! The construction paper will allow my students to work on projects and express their creativity.
