Our district revealed that we will be going back to school this August with a flexible classroom option. This means that we will have students in the class 4 days per week with a staggered AM/PM schedule. Of course, this could change from now until August. However, to ensure that my new students will be safe regardless of how and when the school year starts, I need supplies, specifically supplies that keep my students safe. Safety is my priority in the classroom. The CDC set forth a list of considerations for classroom openings. Of the many considerations on this list, it is clear that students need face coverings, proper ventilation, and un-sharable materials. The items I have on this Donor'sChoose page, albeit not addressing all of the CDC recommendations, will help me get started. Thank you SO much for your help as I navigate this new world of COVID-19 concerns. I, and my future students, appreciate you immensely!
