My Project

It might seem a little early, but I am already looking ahead to the next school year! The supplies requested in this project will be used to create an amazing classroom environment for my wonderful third graders.

A welcoming classroom enhances the learning experience, promotes a sense of community, and contributes to students' well-being.

"Back to School Rules" is an engaging book that ends with the final rule...Do not forget to have FUN! This read aloud along with the "o-fish-ally" a third grader themed snack will instantly calm those first day jitters and put smiles on everyone's faces. It is my goal to make learning fun and interactive. Each student will be off to a fantastic start with pencil boxes filled with all of the supplies they will need for the school year. The materials requested in this project will definitely help us reach that goal. Thank you for considering donating to this project!
