My Project

My students have been doing a great job this year. They are eager to learn and put in continuous effort to meet their learning goals. I strive to provide the best learning environment by making sure our classroom is well organized and has safe cleaning essentials. It is important that we have these items such as, Fabuloso, Clorox wipes and Swiffer pads and solution, to keep our classroom germ free.

It is just as essential to have a well organized classroom too.

This is why I'm requesting classroom chair organizers and art boxes, so students can keep track of their belongings. On top of the students being organized, I would like for my classroom supplies to be organized too. The storage bins will allow for me to keep my classroom supplies organized and out of students way while they are engaged in learning. It will also provide me easy access for when I need to find specific things.

Lastly, my students are in need of some basic supplies such as crayons and pencils. These two things, although small, are really important in a kindergarten classroom. Also, we are in need of a new hot glue gun. This helps with hanging up all of our hard work that we use our pencils and crayons for.
