My Project

As I am beginning to set up my classroom for a new school year, I am finding that there are additional items we need to stay organized, keep healthy, and have the basic items we need for future projects.

Anticipating larger class sizes, I realize I need additional chair pockets and scissors so that each child can have a coordinating pocket and scissors with their tablemates.

The Kleenex and Clorox wipes will help us take care of our needs and keep the children accountable for helping clean the tables and stay healthy. I have run out of glue sticks and know we will receive some at the beginning of the year, but not enough. We love doing hands on art activities so we go through them pretty quickly. The apron will help us stay organized keeping important items close and the border will add some classroom decor and remind the students that they are stars!
