My Project

This project has two missions to accomplish! The first is to give bird items to each of our four first grade classes. The second is to add to our classroom Tree of Kindness.

We are studying birds and also working on being kind!!

Our first grade team is studying birds with our students for the first time. This DonorsChoose project has requests for posters for the classroom, bird feeders for our windows, and stickers for our good work!

In addition, my classroom has a Tree of Kindness. When students make good choices, they can put a leaf, snowflake, or flower on the tree after writing their name on it. It is the best and easiest idea for classroom management that I've ever had! I am running low on the supplies!

Thank you very much for considering a donation to this project!
