My Project

Please help me give my students everyday materials we use on our journey to success. We use paper and laminate sheets daily to showcase our learning standards, vocabulary and anchor charts. The giant notepad is for us to create anchor charts together as a class. As well as the sticky notes are for the students to interact with. The markers and pens make our anchor charts more exciting to read. Notebooks are for students to glue in their own anchor charts. The pencil sharpener and pencils allow students to interact daily with their learning. We thank you in advance for your time and donations to help support our learning journey.
