My Project

I teach at a public school in NC. We are home to students in PK-3. I love finding new ways to encourage my students so I asked them what they would like to have in our classroom that they can enjoy. #1- a bubble gum machine and #2: floor puzzles! Oh my goodness, I was so excited to get their ideas so I bought a bubble gum machine, but now I need your help!

I'd love have your help to keep the bubble gum machine full of gum and some floor puzzles for them to enjoy-students love having input into the classroom!

All of my students are working hard and showing growth-maybe at different levels, but I want them to know I am proud of them!

Students have so many things to overcome in today's world. If I can give them a smile on their sweet face for working hard and having input, I would love to be able to! What’s not to love about my project? It's requested by my students! We appreciate any and all donations!
