My Project

Each year, starting the school year is such an exciting time! This upcoming school year will be filled with new beginnings and first-time experiences. As a teacher, I want to provide my students with the best education possible. However, achieving this goal can be very expensive and mostly comes out of my pocket. I would love help getting needed school supplies in the hands of my students.

To provide engaging lessons, I need to prepare and plan now.

With the requested supplies I plan to provide a warm and inviting classroom with the shiplap paper. The pencils will be used for daily assignments and creative projects. Headphones will allow for a quiet interactive experience on devices. The storage bin will be used to hold all of our supplies.

A classroom environment that has the tools needed for learning will lead to a successful school year! I hope my project caught your interest.
