My Project

Please help me stock my classroom with essential supplies (e.g., fresh highlighters, pens, pencils, clipboards, and clock manipulatives), and each one is going to boost the way we learn together.

Highlighters will help you zero in on key ideas while you read, making it easier to review and remember the most important facts for reading passages and tests.

Smooth-writing pens and pencils give you the freedom to draft, revise, sketch, and annotate without struggling with dull points or smudges so your focus stays on your thinking, not your tools.

Clipboards turn any corner of the room (or the playground!) into a sturdy writing surface, opening up opportunities for gallery walks, outdoor observations, and flexible seating.

Clock manipulatives let you physically move the hands to model elapsed-time problems. Seeing and touching the minutes and hours makes abstract time concepts concrete and memorable.

Together, these supplies will transform our classroom into a hands-on learning environment! They will let us highlight insights, capture brainstorms wherever inspiration strikes, and literally “handle” time as we master it. I can’t wait to see how they use them to deepen their understanding and showcase their creativity.
