Centers give my students the opportunity to work in small groups and build connections with the material that we are learning in class. This time to work in small groups develops their problem solving skills and allows them to push past just a basic understanding of concepts. Students love the opportunity to work in centers but it is really important that these activities are organized and engaging to keep students focused. I will be fundraising for the following supplies to get centers set up and started in my classroom:

• Scotch Thermal Laminator - $30
• Laminating Pouches (200 Count) - $21
• Crazy scissors (12 count) - $16
• 2 packs of colored construction paper (500 count) - $20
• Plastic Bins (Set of 6) - $25
• 1 Box Copy Paper (1500 Sheets) - $15
• Heavy Duty Plastic Folders (6 Pack) - $15
• Ziplock Bags (Pack of 3) - $15
