My Project

The supplies we need for our classroom are some basic needs that would contribute to their learning. The snacks would help with student focus after coming back from their lunch.

The headphones, fidget bands, and other educational materials are needed for student work and staying on task within their group work.

Students tend to have trouble understanding that sometimes there are time constraints and need a timer to help them keep track of time.

Our goal is to ensure our students are prepared for the rest of the school year and have a fun-filled rest of their 2025 school year!

Ms. Gao The School of Creativity & Innovation - Upper Grades 3-5
