My Project

I am a first year teacher and I’m looking to get the necessary supplies needed to make my first year a great one. Some of the supplies requested are essential in maintaining a structure in our classroom, as well as a few snacks as rewards to keep them motivated. In addition to the basics, like a planner to keep track of lessons and assignments, and classroom rules posters to set clear expectations, I also need items like a timer to manage activities and transitions, dry erase boards and markers for interactive teaching, and student notebooks and folders to help organize their work. Bulletin board supplies will help create engaging and informative displays, Storage bins and containers will be essential to keep everything organized. With these tools, along with some snacks for motivation, I aim to create a positive and structured learning environment for my students.
