My Project

In our classroom we need a variety of items such as a hot glue gun to help put work up and hold things together. A pencil sharpener will help keep our pencils sharpened and ready for work. A stool to sit on while students present work to the class and a laminator so we can keep things like name tags looking nice and last a long time. The caddies will hold materials students use once in awhile and will enough for each group of kids. We use the dry erase board as a check in/check out system and the speaker is used to play quiet music while we work. All of these miscellaneous items will help put the finishing touches on our classroom!
