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 in an inviting classroom. 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.

Having a well organized and decorated classroom can help students focus more on their learning.

I am asking for decorative materials in order to ensure my classroom is a beautiful and happy environment for my second graders. The contact paper and bulletin board paper will help to cover the worn furniture and doors to make our classroom feel like a second home.

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