My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! The headphones will be placed in the technology center area of the classroom and used as a gathering place during student independent work time. The paper, markers, crayons and other supplies of the sort will be used by the students, so that they may create books within our writing units. The cleaning supplies will be placed on the shelves in the back of our classroom and will help maintain a clean and safe learning environment.

The timer will be used so that my students know how much work time they have left, as it is not good practice to cut off students without warning.

The dry erase boards will be offered to students, so they may work out their problems as they see fit.
