My Project

In one month, we will begin another school year! Students will return with mixed emotions, but once they settle into the school year, a good time will be had. In order to get us started and prepared for the school year, we are in need of a few items.

Pencils are a resource that will forever be needed in our classroom.

I chose the Ticonderoga pre-sharpened pencils to avoid time spent at the pencil sharpener, which depending on the size of the pencil, can be tricky to sharpen. We are always using small dry-erase boards or the two main dry-erase boards in our classroom. To get us started, two bottles of Expo cleaner are needed for our classroom.

.

My classroom is very limited when it comes to outlets. I am also requesting two extension chords to provide us with opportunities to utilize the new technology that we will be receiving throughout the school year. The batteries and press on lights will be used when demonstrating our noise levels in the classroom!

With the start of the new school year coming up, there will be numerous information going home to parents. For that, we are in need of ink for our classroom printer.

Thank you for considering the needs of our classroom!
