My Project

I am a first year teacher and just don’t have much in bulk supplies of creating a community supply of office items for myself and students to use. I will use these materials in the classroom for math and reading. I will use them when students are needing new supplies themselves. I am wanting to build a better community atmosphere in the classroom where students can have the supplies that are needed to be successful. I want students to know that they can share, but also learn not to break our community supplies
