My Project

First grade is a wonderful opportunity to guide young children as they explore numbers, ask questions about new information, begin to master self-regulation, and develop a lifelong love for reading. As a first-grade teacher, I am committed to creating a dynamic and supportive learning environment for my young students. To enhance their classroom experience

1.

Comfortable Reading Rugs: Our classroom lacks cozy, inviting spaces for students to engage with books and stories. We need comfortable, durable reading rugs to create designated reading areas where students can relax and immerse themselves in their reading adventures.

2. Listening Center: Many of my students are emergent readers who benefit greatly from auditory learning. A listening center with headphones and an audio player will allow them to listen to books, follow along with stories, and develop their listening and comprehension skills.

3. Math Manipulatives: To make math concepts more tangible and engaging, we need a variety of hands-on math manipulatives.

These tools will help students visualize and understand math concepts through interactive and immersive learning experiences.

Your generous donation will help us create a nurturing classroom environment that supports diverse learning styles and fosters a love of learning in every student. Thank you for considering our project!
