My Project

Please help our classroom get some necessary supplies and items that will help to bring the students closer together. The ball rack will help to keep our playground equipment organized and in better working condition. The board games and quizzical games will help to motivate and inspire creativity in the classroom.

Teamwork in our classroom is a huge deal and these items will help us to continue to spotlight why working together is so important.

As we all know, not one student is the same as the other and the items on our list play towards the multiple strengths and curiosities of the individual personalities inside the classroom.
