My Project

My first graders are currently in need of a few basic classroom supplies. We would like items that are used everyday to either complete art projects, clean our room, make center games, or more.

Every classroom has basic supplies that are needed to help function within any grade level.

The colors will be used to complete art activities. The large and small folders will be used to store center pieces and other classroom projects. The paper towels will be used to clean up the everyday messes that occur in our first grade classroom. The damp rid will help keep our very old classroom smelling great and fresh. The peppermints will be handed out to students with sore throats and coughs. The mailbox will be posted on our classroom wall for any notes that need to be shared or sent to a particular place.
