Third Year!

Help me give my students the appropriate supplies they need to make this a magical school year!

My Project

Hi everyone! I cannot believe I am getting ready for my third year of teaching. Time is flying by SO FAST!

To get ready for the new school year I am creating a list of things that my students and I will need throughout the year!

The supplies on this list will help my students and I have an engaging year! For example, the headphones that I have listed will be a HUGE hit in the classroom. A lot of our tests are read to them from their iPads and it’s hard for students to concentrate when they can hear somebody else’s iPad. I also listed games that we will be able to enjoy during recess on rainy days! School days are long and hard for some of our students, especially with an early lunch. I would like to provide my students with snacks to help my babies maintain a positive/engaging attitude throughout the day.

We appreciate all donations made!
