My Project

As a first year 2nd grade teacher, I would like to provide my students with a comfortable, safe, and productive learning environment using these items on my list as a kick start. The items I have listed allow for seating in different areas of the room, some basic supplies, and some indoor recess activities. I am beyond excited to begin this school year and would love to provide my students with some awesome materials! Ensuring a great environment is essential to a strong classroom. Thank you so much for your support!
