My Project

I am switching grade levels next year from sixth grade to first grade! I am looking forward to this opportunity and can't wait to see the growth my scholars will make. I am requesting supplies that will keep my scholars organized and engaged.

The flexible seating will help keep my scholars minds more alert and focused, by allowing them to wobble, bounce and lean while engaged in our classroom.

The mailbox system, pencil pouches and scissor caddy will keep us and our materials organized so that we have more time to GROW!
