My Project

For my project, I am requesting essential classroom supplies to create a more organized, engaging, and efficient learning environment for my students.

Seat pockets and organizers will help keep materials easily accessible and reduce classroom clutter, allowing students to focus more on their learning.

A storage cart will help me move and manage materials for small group instruction more effectively. Chart paper is a crucial tool for visual instruction and anchor charts that reinforce key concepts. Basic supplies like glue sticks, pencils, crayons, highlighters, dry erase boards, and markers are used daily for interactive lessons, hands-on activities, and student engagement. Scissors are necessary for cutting activities that support fine motor development and creative learning.

These materials will help ensure that every student has the tools they need to succeed and thrive in our classroom.
