My Project

As a new teacher, there is still a lot missing from my classroom. A big portion of this is art supplies and decor. Students want to have a fun, clean, and engaging classroom environment. Students spend on average more time with their teacher each week than they do with their parents.

I want to give them a classroom they would be proud of.

Amazing art supplies to craft and challenge their creativity, a carpet sweeper to clean up a few messes along the way, and organization to keep it all together.

In addition, I want to reward my students with cool and unique gifts like bookmarks that do more than just hold your place (the strawberry cake scratch and sniff bookmark is amazing!), motivational stickers when they need that little extra reinforcement, and cute pencil toppers that double as erasers. All in all, a happy class is a thriving class and these are just what we need. Thank you for considering my project.
