New Start for New Teacher

Help me give my students a collaborative and mindful school year with great management

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Liu's classroom raised $593

This project is fully funded

My Project

Classroom management is crucial during the first year of teaching. I have only met my students for just a few times, but I am already loving them. The 7th grader love their previous teacher and cannot stop expressing how much they love her. The 6th graders are curious about the school and each other. I got this brand new, big classroom to my own, and I cannot help to feel overwhelming.

I am asking for supplies to support me through the year to support classroom management.

Especially for a big classroom, I need a tool to walk around and control the slides. I want to build a collaborative classroom so that students could write and express on the whiteboards. I will establish my own routine to help students with their learning.
