My Project

Before I became a Teacher, teaching Third Graders, I assisted taught Kindergarten, First, and Second grade.. As a result, I have a plethora of toys that are very underage for Third Graders. Having said that, my third graders have not once complained about these toys being for smaller kids. At the same time, I would like to up grade the toys because on days that they cannot go outside due to rain, cold temperatures, and/ or snow, for them to have something whereas, they can unwind and just be kids, happy, smiling, and enthralled within the joy of building and playing games really does my heart so good as a teacher.

Pertinent to the printer and laminator, having these items for my classroom would really help tremendously in order to provide the educational needs of my students.

Especially given the fact that we consistently run into instance whereas our school copier/ laminator does not work properly. Lastly, the snacks are for the purpose of providing a snack for my students daily before going home. Being in a Title One school, we run into so many of our students who really depend on the food/ snacks they receive at school being that they are in a low income to poverty stricken family. Thank you.
