My Students

My students are wonderful. They come to school everyday and they are full of energy. My students don't all have the resources they might need to be successful in the classroom such as having pencils, papers and crayons to do school work. My scholars always have a smile.

My Project

Thank you for taking the time to read this project.

My scholars come from a low income background and will be very appreciative of any school materials that we get.

As we all know last school year was one like no other. I was a first year teacher and did not have many supplies for the classroom.

I am asking for materials that will help my scholars start off the school year on the right foot.

My scholars will benefit from using the carpet and wobble chairs during small group time so they have a place to sit and do their work.

The treasure chest will be used all the time and my scholars will love going in for a prize.

Anything that is donated I am very appreciate of.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help my class.
