My Project

These items will allow my students to thrive, giving them access to various tools needed for the classroom and complete projects and/or work needed to be successful! Thank you very much for giving this opportunity to our students! We will do word work on the dry erase board’s essential for decoding and encoding for success in reading and writing! These tools will help in all areas of learning. Lysol wipes will help eliminate germs to keep attendance up. Laminating sheets are critical at this age to preserve needed items for the student and teacher to reuse and save!
