My Project

The variety of items requested in this project will be used in numerous ways in my classroom!

The games and sandboxes will be used at our Think Seat, where students can regulate using these items while they process their emotions.

Students are also able to enjoy these items during their indoor recesses.

The craft markers and Sharpie markers will be used in a variety of our activities! We are getting ready to make our class book and these items will be used to help decorate our pages!

The books are part of a collection of true unsolved mysteries that my class loved reading! I was excited to find these additional titles available and would love to add these to our classroom library!
