My Project

My young students love to have hands-on learning experiences in our classroom. All of these items will help me provide those learning experiences for my kiddos. The Dry Erase Boards that are also clipboards are multipurpose. We can move around the room and school and have a great writing tool that includes an eraser as well. The Expo Markers are used daily, so they tend to run down quickly and/or dry out. The Cardstock paper is used for so many things in our classroom from new learning games for Center time to flashcards with letters and high frequency words. We also love to go outside, and practice writing words and do math problems on the sidewalks when it is nice out and need a new supply of sidewalk chalk! Batteries are used for many different things in our classroom including our Leap Pads that we use daily at Center time. Plus, new silicone bracelets are great prizes for doing amazing things in our classroom!

I am so excited to have a fresh supply of items that we use daily in our classroom to provide hands-on learning experiences.

Thank you for stopping by our project.
