My Project

The materials that are listed are items that our classroom family needs to make our day and lessons run smoothly.

We have most of the things we need, but some things need a "home" and we need to make our room more complete.

A classroom carpet for the students to gather for whole group learning. Rolling carts to organize materials and have them easily accessible. A bulk batch of crayons for every day coloring. Chart paper and hooks to display anchor charts that students use as tools to help them work independently. These items are every day things that most classrooms use.
