My Project

A teacher can never have too many paper clips, binder clips or laminating pouches. I am a teacher who loves to keep materials grouped and organized, from upcoming plans, student work and reusable materials.

Every week, my students are able to participate in a raffle and we are in need of prizes.

My students love slime and fidget toys! They are always the first prizes to go and the most loved ones.

I am also requesting some Junie B. Jones and Zombie Goldfish books to broaden their choices for independent reading. We are also a class that loves to play bingo!
