My Project

Students will be sharing most of the classroom materials instead of putting personal supplies inside their own desks. Second graders are well known for losing everything to the inside of their desks, so we will use a different sharing system.

Each year I invest a lot of my own funds to get the classroom well stocked and set up for success.

These are the items that I bought last year that need restocking. There are so many books, activities, manipulatives and more that I have already purchased and will continue to do so throughout the year. Some families choose to contribute which is always deeply appreciated.
