My Project

Many of these supplies are to support my instruction. Dry erase markers, pencils, scissors, and headphones are for students to work as a class and independently.

My anchor chart papers and sharpies are for my anchor charts to support my instruction and test taking strategies.

The 3-tier drawers are to store supplies for my students, as my students are departmentalized and will be teaching 3 blocks of reading. My three tier metal shelf is going to be used to carry supplies for students as they are working in their small group.
