My Project

As we are wrapping up one school year, I am already getting ready for the next! I am requesting laminating pouches in various sizes to help protect things like folder covers and nametags. Then cardstock is used for alphabet letter cards for every single student as well as word cards and fun games. We go through a lot of Sharpies because I use them daily to make our kindergarten word cards for each student. Then I added a few items on for our new Glow Days like highlighters and special glow paper.

Things like markers, cardstock, highlighters, and laminating sheets don't sound super exciting, but they really are needed to develop great learning resources for my young kiddos!

Thank you for helping to keep my classroom engaging for my young students.
