My Project

It's that time again: Time for your kids to start waking up before 11AM and remember what it's like to close the apps and open the books! So how can you help? Great question...

Let's start the year off right with some much needed classroom essentials!

This year, I'd like to make some more room in the class by getting things up and out of your kids way so they can move around better. Students will benefit from having a clean and organized classroom as well as some of the materials they need, if they forget their own. Therefore, I'd like a couple baker's racks and some storage bins to keep things neatly tucked away. Aside from that, we'll need a few Kleenex boxes, pens, dry erase markers, batteries, Band-Aid bandages, and oh so much paper for writing: One can never have enough.
