My Project

A new school year is approaching and I need materials to make this school year run smoothly. We are requesting file folders. We will use these for our writing portfolios. I have to collect three writing samples per grading period. So, these folders will help me to keep their writing organized. The lanyards will be used as hall passes. Students will wear them when going to the bathroom, office, or nurse. I need an organizer for my desk. It will keep my pencils, papers, and folders organized. We also need clipboards. I will use these for meetings and to hold important information such as student transportation and emergency contact sheets.

The teacher's desk is the most important part of the room!

These supplies will keep me organized this next school year.
