My Project

My teacher desk is completely empty with the exception of a few stray paperclips. To prepare for a great year, the basic supplies are not in my classroom. (teacher chair, pencil sharpener, paperclips, stapler and staples, tape dispenser and tape, etc.)

I am new to my school district.

I started moving my personal belongings in, but quickly realized that I would be needing a lot of basic supplies that are not provided. I love to prepare lessons days in advance, so paperclips are a must. The students will need a pass to use the restroom down the hallway, so a set of passes would make that easier.
