My Project

This year I will be a primary school teacher. My students will need basic supplies to help them learn. The basic supplies I am asking for my students are paper, sticky notes, pencils, pens, and markers. These supplies will keep my first-grade classroom clean and organized.

I believe that my children will benefit from adding these basic supplies to our classroom.

I will use the laminating pouches to laminate words for the word wall. I will also use the file organizer to keep the daily copies organized.

Thank you for supporting my first-grade classroom.
