My Project

My first grade students are excited to start a new school year! In order for it to be a successful school year, my students need essential materials to help in their learning. Things like pencils and primary journals will allow my first graders to complete their work and master their writing. Scissors will allow students the ability to complete more hands-on assignments to engage all learners. White board markers and erasers will make spelling and sentence writing exciting for students to practice, something we will do each day! Further, folders will enable students to have individualized work, specifically made for them. And of course, paper will allow students to have all the work they need to become the amazing readers, writers and mathematicians they are meant to be!
