Melany Classroom Essentials

Help me give my students some basic classroom supply essentials along with some of their “safe snacks”. Many children on the spectrum do not eat the foods provided by the school; these are some very popular choices.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These are some basic classroom essentials! Many of these materials will allow me to reuse materials, such as the dry erase pockets to put students sign in sheets. Laminating pouches are also a key essential in a classroom. A label maker will help label all my bins for me and my students to know what is stored/where. Fruit snacks and Pringles are a popular favorite for my children. The crates will help keep my items stored nicely. Disinfectant wipes will be used everyday, can never have enough!
