My Project

Thank you for offering to help teachers with the beginning of the school year items!

I’m excited to use these sensory items in my treasure box, students earn the treasure box by reading at home.

I love the idea of having these items because they will help students in a multiple ways. I love when students can earn something that is good for them, not just candy!

I also love having the ability to get new markers to start the school year!

My very favorite item on this list for me though is the label marker! I love labels! I will live to label my new sensory items for my students!
