My Project

The most important thing in a classroom is feeling safe and at home! As an early childhood teacher my main goal is to create a welcoming environment for my students to learn in. This project includes different lighting options that will help to create a soothing setting. It also includes cleaning materials, classroom essentials, and more that will contribute to our home away from home.

We have a wonderful classroom family and I hope to keep bettering my classroom for them!

Thank you so much in advance for any and all donations.
