These materials are needed in the classroom for students to be successful in the music classroom. Often they tend to leave needed items such as paper, pencils, and colors in their homeroom. I would like to have those object readily available for my students and not have to wander around my classroom looking for resources. The dry erase clipboards are a priority on my list because I have limited space in my classroom, students do not have a desk to use to write if they have written work they use the textbooks on their lap. The clipboards will also work as a multifunctional item in the classroom. Instruments are shared daily in the classroom so it is imperative to use disinfectant spray and wipes to keep germs and bacteria at bay. I am asking for cleaning supplies because I want my room to be the last place for some to contract the flu, pink eye or anything of the sorts.
