My Project

Our first grade students are gearing up to be lifelong learners! We are always trying to make learning fun, and always in need of some basic supplies that help them along the way. Whether it be Reading, Writing, Math, Science, or Art, our young minds are always in need of some old staples to help them on their new learning adventures.

With these new supplies, my students will be able to keep their space, desk, and work better organized, ultimately helping them to become more independent, and prepared for their day.

Supplies such as paper, books, folders, pencils, crayons, and erasers are just a few items that seem small in nature, but huge in their eyes, as they are the necessary tools of their learning trade. With your help, we will be able to print their work, create new activities, showcase their creativity, and have the right books they need to help them on their writing journey. In addition, some of the other items will be instrumental in helping to make their space more organized and accessible, and help them grow as lifelong learners even more.
