Hello! My name is Melissa Ott and I am a first grade teacher in an inner city school. I am working hard to get the things my students need to have as many opportunities and resources as other, more affluent school districts. Please take the time to look at some of the basic things my wonderful little first graders could use to help them move along in their education. I am trying to make the classroom a safe and welcoming place where children can explore and learn. :)
