My Project

My students are a curious, fun-loving bunch! We are looking forward to the new school year to learn new things and make new friends! I am requesting folders, writing pens, and potting soil to help us start the new school year with the materials we need!

The last school year began with a little bit of fear and uncertainty.

This new school year we will be almost back to normal before the Covid-19 pandemic hit. My students will use the soil and watering cans to replenish and replant the learning garden beds outside of our classroom and use the clipboards to help us take notes as we make daily observations in the space. The folders will be used to keep all of our papers and work samples neat and organized, and the Bic pens will be used every day to document our learning in science, math, and reading response journals. Thank you for taking the time to consider making a donation to my students and our classroom.
