HELLO! Thanks for checking out my project! I have been teaching the 4th and 5th grade in a high needs school district in Connecticut for over twelve years now. I teach in the same area where I grew up and it feels so good to give back to my community. This year I have 20 wonderful new students. It is going to be an exciting school year, but I need your help!
