My Project

I love watching my students glow and grow! A lot happens during the school year. They become independent readers, problem solvers and creative thinkers.

I am requesting a carpet, floor cushions, book bins, dry erase markers and more.

I want to use most of these items to design a functional reading space for my students. I will use some of the others to have fun, engaging activities in our small groups.

These items will make our class organized, functional and fun. That means learning can take place. My students will love using these new additions to our room and reach all of their goals this year!
