My Project

It has been two years since my students have completed the standardized SBAC test. Students will be testing in their homeroom classrooms, and I need materials! Headphones are so important so that students can listen to read aloud prompts in ELA and Math. Due to the pandemic I want to gift personal headphones to reduce contamination of shared earbuds. I also need pencils for test taking! Pencils will be only allowed, no pens. So lots of pencils will be used for kids to use on scratch paper. The smarties are incentives for a job well done, a sweet treat to reward the kiddos. In addition, I am asking for cute erasers to help motivate kids to use the scratch paper.
