My Project

My students are absolutely loving the Who HQ series of books. There are all different topics about people, places, events, and things. I have added a few more of these books to my project to enhance my classroom library even more. The other materials are there to spruce up current materials in the room. We often will do projects or publish writing pieces that require some type of creative artwork with it. The paper cutter would be so helpful to have in the room for a quick and neat way of preparing our work.

Snacks for our bin are always in high demand for days that students do not bring one from home.
