My Project

I am a new Preschool teacher in a low-income area where my students will benefit from the materials that I am requesting. Each and every item will be a huge benefit for my students in their learning experience during their first year in a school setting.

My goal for this project is helping my students receive these materials for a better and more fun learning experience for my classroom.

This will help engage each and every student.

My students are very special in every way. Supporting them in every way that I can with great learning materials.
