My Project

I plan to use these materials for my First Grade class to help organize us through the school year. The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a place to go.

We need your help in getting everything through our door!

The paper, pencils and other supplies of the sort will be used by the students, so they may write. The organizational bins will be placed on the shelves in the back of our classroom and will help our students be organized from day to day. The timer will be used so that my students know how much time they have left to work, as it is not good practice to cut off students without warning. The borders will be used on our classroom bulletin board where their work will be displayed. The sheet protectors will serve as white boards for my students. The pencils will allow them to write in class, the white board markers will help them write on their personal white boards, the take home pouch will be used to transport their borrowed books from class to home, the file folders will be used for organizing their work in class, the shelf storage organizer will be used by students to turn in their work to me, the storage pocket chart will be used to check out their library books (the piece of paper will be put in the pocket with their name underneath), the electric pencil sharpener will be used to sharpen pencils in class, the white lined paper will be used for writing practice, math problems and anything else they need it for, the pocket chart card set will be used to help the students learn the alphabet, the construction paper will be used for class projects.
