My Project

It is my first year teaching. I'm looking for help getting supplies that I can use to make my students' learning environment inviting for them.

I'm also looking for classroom books because I want to build a classroom library that will encourage my students to learn to read and to love reading.The books will help my kindergarteners learn how to read, learn how to comprehend, learn empathy for others, and master many other skills.

The book bins will be used to organize their library books. I want my students to be motivated and to feel like they have what they need to succeed.

The other supplies like the laminator, the ink, the stapler, the tape, the construction paper, the printer paper, the pocket charts, and the bulletin board decorations are going to be used to make the space welcoming for my kindergarten students and for art projects and crafts we will do throughout the year. The dry erase markers and mini whiteboard set will be used for the development of their math and literacy skills.
