My Project

Students will have paper and writing supplies, like markers, glue sticks and sticky notes to help differentiate their learning for their small groups in reading, science, social studies and math.

The classroom will have laminating sheets, cards stock, tape and glue sticks to prepare lessons and put up charts for the ever changing curriculum topics.

Tissues will assure the only thing we are sharing in kindergarten are ideas not germs.

The classroom supplies in this project will help my students every day. The supplies will allow my students to show and express their thinking in a variety of ways.
