My Project

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them an effective and engaging learning environment. The first item in this project is additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The next item is library book bins. We have so many books in our library, we need more bins to display them in the correct category! This will encourage students to read new genres and topics. Another item in this project is colored ink to make our lessons and activities more engaging. Lastly, our class always needs more pencils and individual sharpeners. This will ensure all students are prepared for learning and activities. Thank you!
