My Project

The materials and supplies I request for my students will go to a good home. We need your help getting everything through our door and on the floor!

The large carpet will be placed in the front of the classroom and used as a gathering place during mini-lessons and center time.

Each morning, my students and I gather on the rug to greet each other and start our day. We come to our rug to sing, dance, read, and connect as a class.

The color printer will enable me to provide my students with colorful word walls and activities.
