My Project

I have such an incredible group of hardworking students. Several of my students are English Language learners, I am always looking for more ways to make the classroom easy for all learning to learn in.

This project is filled with items that will help create a more organized space for the students to learn and grow.

The book bins will be used to organize chapter books and make them more accessible to the students. My students are in great need for extra headphones and new pencil pouches to keep headphones organized. Each item in this project will help the classroom function better and create a stronger learning environment. This supply list will be used for years and numerous students in the years to come as well.
