My Project

The items that I have chosen will help us keep our classroom clean and organized. We like to clean our floors daily so we have a nice environment to work in.

The tennis balls will help keep out room quiet when he move our desks and chairs.

Many of my students are very easily distracted and the loud noise can create meltdowns for those who get overstimulated.

The laminator, card stock paper, pencil sharpener, 3 hole punch and colored pencils will allow us to create and protect artwork and decorations for our room.
