My Project

To keep our classroom running smoothly and support student independence, we need basic but essential supplies. Laminating sheets help protect learning materials we use daily (from math games to center instructions) so they last all year. A glue gun and Velcro make it easy to create interactive learning boards, anchor charts, and hands-on activities. Dry erase markers let students practice writing, spelling, and math problems in an easy-to-correct way, while tape is a staple for everything from hanging student work to labeling materials. A label maker will help keep our classroom organized and student-friendly, making it easier for kids to find what they need and put things away independently.

Our classroom will be more organized, interactive, and fun—a place where every student feels confident and ready to learn!
