My Project

My students are entering their first year in school and I want them to have the deserved experience. I don't want my first year teaching budget to affect them from the many great resources they could experience. This includes books, fun activities like educational bingo, and just simple materials like whiteboard covers to aid in changing their school experience!

I would love for my students to have the most fun books to read a loud, literacy centers, and STEM building projects as part of their first year in school.

Help my students gain the resources that are not just the minimum, but are what will help them be better learners! Thank you so much for the support!
