My Project

We have begun another fantastic school year. My classroom is in need of some items to have a successful start to this new school year. In order to have a clean and safe classroom we will need cleaning items. This will ensure that students are in a germ free environment. There are items that my students and I will need, as well. These items include things like fidget keychains, hand sanitizer, electric stapler, snacks, and cleaning supplies. Lastly, I always desire to reward the students that are demonstrating good character. Students who demonstrate good character are rewarded with their snack of choice.
