My Project

Student are successful when routine is in place and independence is skillfully fostered. This project has been thoughtfully curated to do just that…plus sprinkle in a little fun.

The materials requested in this project will allow students to understand the importance of organization and community.

These bulletin board and classroom basics are materials I have used in my classroom yearly, however, they only last so long and need a re-fresh. Velcro and laminated pockets break and need to be replaced. Glue dots get used and whiteboard materials begin to curl. I’m requesting these items for my classroom to replace broken or worn out materials that I know provide students opportunity to be successful in classroom and life skills.
