My Project

I teach a classroom full of amazing and curious first graders in Staten Island, New York. My school is a Title I school, with eighty percent of our students receiving free or reduced-price lunches. My students come from various backgrounds with very diverse needs. The majority of my students are English Language Learners, where English is their second language.

I am asking for basic supplies to keep my classroom neat and organized.

First, I am asking for bulletin board trim. I am also asking for glue sticks. These will be kept in the classroom for any projects we need. The laminating sheets that I am asking for will be used to help me laminate signs for my classroom.

Thank you for your support.
