SUPPLIES NEEDED
Hand towel
It is getting EXTREMELY hot in class. Students are wanting to drink more water, I have no issue with them keeping water on or under their desk. However, I am adamant about them having hand towel under their water bottle. We have none presently. This item goes quickly in our class. Students also use this to blow their nose, wipe their faces etc. We are in desperate need!
