My Project

I am requesting some odds and ends to get ready for the beginning of next year! For example, I have almost a class set of white 3-ring binders to create my students' take home binders, but I am short 6 of them. I love giving them the book "The Night Before First Grade" at Meet the Teacher with a QR code inside so they can hear me read them the story. I need just a couple more so ensure that I will have one for each child.

The other materials I am requesting are the ones we use day to day and I will need to replace before next year.

I am asking for individual dry erase boards, markers and erasers, pockets to put in activities for us to use with dry erase markers for all subject areas, name plates for their desks, glue sticks, and pencils. I will use the labels to identify their various journals such as their Writer's Workshop, Word Work, Math and Science. I am also requesting a gift card for Teachers Pay Teachers so I can remain current and purchase additional activities to use to reinforce my curriclum.
