My Project

There's nothing quite so magical as a first grade classroom.

My little "magicians" can make school supplies disappear faster than you can say "Don't forget to write your name on that".

Students learning how to read, write, add and subtract need lots of basic supplies and when you're only 6 or 7 years old you go through a lot of materials. As a teacher, I spend my days looking for school supply sales and yard sales trying to find the best deal. Over time, this cost adds up dramatically. With these high quality journals and construction paper, we will be able to add more writing and creating to our day that my students need. Thank you for your help!
