My Project

I teach Kindergarten and we are busy learning new things each day. I am finding that there are certain things that we use more than others in my classroom.

Three things that we seem to go through very fast are expo markers, glue and crayons.

We are always using expo markers to write out letters, write cvc words, and in our centers. We use crayons daily for almost all assignments and glue as well. In Kindergarten we learn how to cut and glue so its important that we use it often. Because we use these three things so much- we go through them very quickly. I want to make sure that they are available to my students.
