My Project

As a brand new 2nd grade teacher, I am working hard to be the best teacher that I can be for my students. These students deserve the best, especially after coming back from distance learning. They need hands-on materials and engaging tools to help them. I started working as a teacher at the end of January. In just two months, I learned how special my little friends are. Not only I see a heart of gold in them, but also they show their determination to achieve their goals each day.

These supplies that I requested will not only help me provide the education that my students deserve at school, but they can also bring it home.

I requested for school supplies to ensure that my students will have materials at home and school. The educational games will provide students a way to learn in a fun environment. The TPT gift card will help me purchase worksheets/activities that can support and improve their learning. As a new teacher, these materials will be very helpful!
