My Project

I want to end the school year successfully, and I need your help. I know my students are going to love these new books! The snacks will go to my students who come to school hungry. Students will be able to learn better with a little food in their stomachs. The vacuum will help our classroom stay super clean. I will use the microwave to heat up popcorn and other treats when the class earns a reward. Lastly, I will use the velcro for projects around the classroom.

Many of our families cannot donate supplies to school because they are new to our country and trying to make ends meet.

Thank you so much for considering helping my students. Many of my students are immigrants and refugees. All of the items in this project help ensure my classroom is a welcoming environment. When students feel safe, they are able to learn.
