My Project

My brilliant students need to be able to move, bounce, wobble, and balance as they grow, learn, and stay focused. I am so impressed that this class loves to read and create.

School started the last Monday in August and already my students are impressive.

They are ready to learn but they also need to move to keep them attentive. They enjoy creating when their work is finished, and they love to read in a comfortable place.

With the help of these supplies, we can give them all what they need to continue to grow their brilliant minds.
