First Year Teacher Wanting to Make a Difference

Help me give my students a great year of learning, because with the stress of 3rd grade having to take TCAP, this would help them relax and worry less about having their every day basics.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

These items in my cart-- the floor pillows, fidget toys, and new library books, will help make my classroom comfortable and engaging for my students. I am a first year teacher teaching 3rd grade ELA. 3rd grade ELA is one of the most stressful subjects for students because of the weight of having to pass the state mandated test. I am wanting to help my students worry less about this test and have a room filled with all the things they need to be successful. I also want to be able to teach my children and not have to worry about not being able to provide the essentials!
