My Project

As Summer ends and we gear up for another successful school year, there are items my students need to start the school year. These materials help my students stay organized and start the school year in a positive manner.

Students are required by the district to have clear bags and the clear totes will make it easier when switching classes.

Each student will have the clear totes personalized so they can travel to all of their classes without carrying materials in their hands.

All students will receive notebooks for each subject area and the labels will be used to label all folders and notebooks with their name, subject, area, and teacher. Their pencil pouches will store their pencils, markers, scissors, and glue for easy access. As we transition into different subjects and classes they will be able to have a visual timer to help them transition in a timely manner.

Lastly, the cardstock will be used to print forms of communication to parents and for small group. Students will have resources in their interactive notebooks that can be printed in different colors of paper to easily access academic materials in order to be successful.

I am looking forward to welcoming each student on my roster with everything they need to "Fly First Class."
