The Start of a Great New Year!

Help me give my students folders, pens and cleaning wipes to get this new school year started!

My Project

The new school year is upon us and this year we will be using folders for our handouts that will be left in the classroom. We need pens, and colorful labels to make sure we know whose folder is whose and cleaning wipes to keep the desks clean between classes. We hope to do more Fun Food Friday's this year, so the cleaning wipes will come in handy for that as well.

Basic supplies are needed all year long, but the beginning of the year is when all the rules and routines are introduced, and the supplies make it that much easier.

We love to be prepared for the new students in class, and these supplies will make this new school year awesome from the start!
