My Project

This project will help our class with the basic supplies they need for school daily. My first grade students are the absolute best and they deserve the best. These materials will help us with our daily classroom assignments in all academic areas. It will help the students throughout the school year. By having these supplies, it will benefit each and every student in my first grade classroom. The pencils are for every student in my class to use in all subjects. Often times, the students do not come with the basic supplies and the pencils will help us so much! The copy paper is to be used to print work on and will be used in all of the academic subjects. The labels are to be used throughout our classroom in order to label things to help all of our students. The laminating paper is to be used for laminating math center games and for our reading centers. Thanks for your help! It is greatly appreciated!
