My Project

To be able to start the year off right, we are requesting supplies, such as pre-sharpened pencils, a pencil dispenser, dry-erase markers, and magnetic dry marker erasers so each student can have what they need to succeed during math and reading. To hang up bulletin boards and student work around the room, we are asking for a glue gun, and hot glue sticks. We are in need of a cursive alphabet so students can have a reminder of how to form each letter. We also need magnetic notebook paper, so students and I can write in a straight line and complete example writings together. Our mesh zipper pouches will come in handy to hold our math manipulatives, so each student has their own.

I want each student to be able to start the year off putting their best foot forward!

The last thing on our list is a sensory fish bubble light. Sometimes working in the classroom can be overwhelming and overstimulating. The fish bubble light will help keep the calm in my classroom, while students work. If they need a break, they can watch the fish float up and down while the bubbles rise. It's a great way to take a break and bring yourself up after a setback, or becoming frustrated. Thank you for helping our classroom get everything they need to become amazing learners!
