My Project

I am asking for four copies of each of next year's Oregon Battle of the Books books. It's a competition that many students enter each year. It helps to have multiple copies of each book so the kids can choose when they want to read each book.

All of the materials are meant to make school more engaging for the amazing students in room 19!

The Minecraft math books are going to be a big hit with many of the kiddos. They are awesome and deserve to have learning experiences centered around things of interest to them.

I also added a few general supplies we need for the room. The kids love the bright colors of the Crayola dry erase markers!
