My Project

My students come from various socio-economic backgrounds and many have limited access to appropriate school supplies throughout the year. Additionally, we will be starting a new reading program that we need to reorganize and stock up for. Seeing other teachers that have implemented this program with success allowed my fellow teachers and I to learn from their successes and failures.

After using many of these materials over the last year, they have proven to be a fantastic addition to the learning environment!

The dry-erase clipboards allow for versatility and immediate response from all around the classroom. The markers and refills have proven to be so much more economical than traditional markers, as the ink is better quality and still lasts much longer. The erasers are fun and still very well made and useful. Finally, the seat sacks provide for a sense of organization that is otherwise tough as we have tables rather than traditional desks. Having most of their necessary supplies tucked away in their seat backs makes for quick and tidy classroom management.
