My Project

I know this project has many random requests. However, after a quarter of working with my students, we have many random needs. This project falls into four categories.

Needs, fun, learning, and cleanliness.

I am requesting snacks for my students because they are always starving. I usually give more than half my class a snack at recess; sometimes some of my students miss breakfast and need a snack before or after school.

I am also requesting some items to make our classroom more fun, such as classroom decorations, treasure chest items, and floor chairs. The classroom decorations will make our classroom cheerful. the treasure chest items are to reward good behavior. The floor chairs are to give the student flexible and fun seating options when they are partner reading.

I am also requesting some magnets and dry erase clip boards so the students can do partner work on the floors or outside.

The last items I am requesting is a robot vaccum and mop combo. we are a large school and finding custodians has been challenging. the admin is doing the best they can to keep my room clean. but I would prefer if it were vaccummed and mopped every day instead of every couple days, so I want to take matters into my own hands.
