My Project

With this project I'm requesting a little bit of everything -- from rubber bands to notebooks to window markers -- to provide my scholars with the basic supplies they need to engage in learning activities. This is my first year in the classroom and I would love stock our space with all the odds and ends my scholars need to be successful.

These basic supplies will support our daily activities and our celebration of the learning we do throughout the year.

Scholars will use items like notebooks and markers during small group and independent work times across all subjects. The display stands and magnets will highlight mentor texts, and other sources of inspiration. Supplies like the fishing line, clothes pins, and tape will allow me to display student work so we can celebrate their learning and growth. Thank you for helping us begin our year with the basics!
