My Project

I'm so excited to begin my first year teaching! I'm building my classroom from the ground up and it's important that I bring all that I can to my new second graders. I need some basics such as scissors, stapler, and tape. I also want my class to have access to materials such as whiteboards, clipboards, pencils, erasers. It's also important to me that they have bulletin boards to inspire them, which need paper and borders! Thank you so much for considering to donate, I couldn't do this on my own.
