My Project

Hello. We are the Reliable Rams. We are a 4/5 combo class. We are always trying to be responsible and organized with our classroom materials and supplies.

We would like to order some hooks that allow us to hang up our backpacks and headphones.

These items would make us feel more comfortable in the classroom because it would make it more neat and organized.

We would use these hooks because we do not have any place to hang these items, and it would give us a lot more room in the classroom. We have to hang our backpacks on our chairs, and we move a lot in the classroom and they are always falling and getting in the way.

Thank you for your time and consideration. It is greatly appreciated. From, Reliable Rams
