My Project

With your help, my students can enjoy new books and new supplies. In my 1st grade class we use dry erase boards and markers daily, and are in need of new markers. My students love learning about Space, Diversity, and Black History. They would be so excited about more books on these topics!

More books and better supplies makes learning more fun!

With this project, I am requesting new and better supplies and more books to enhance the learning in my 1st grade classroom.

Thank you for reading and considering to donate to my fabulous Firsties!
