My Project

I am so excited to start my first year ever, and what better way to launch my career than to work with first-grade students! Currently, I do not have a classroom rug in my room, and a rug for my students to learn is crucial. It will allow the students to participate in whole-class learning, and give them opportunities to collaborate with their peers on the rug.

My students deserve to not only feel welcome in my classroom, but they deserve to feel safe!

Essentials such as bandaids, paper towels, disinfecting wipes, and more allow for myself and my students to continue to feel safe and healthy! Classroom materials such as clipboards, markers, and scissors will be used multiple times throughout the year for the numerous projects that are planned within our curriculum, whether it be for science/social studies or social-emotional learning. All of the materials that I have included on my list have a specific purpose that will help our classroom run smoothly. Thank you so much for your donation!
