My Project

My students are a vibrant and hardworking group who have put their heart and soul into learning throughout the year. They are a community of learners who take pride in our classroom family and love celebrating their achievements. As we near the end of the school year, I want to send them off with something special that reminds them of the bonds we’ve created and supports their continued learning over the summer.

For this project, I aim to create a memorable summer giveaway for my students.

Using sublimation supplies, I will design and personalize blankets featuring a collage of class and family photos we’ve taken throughout the year. These blankets will serve as a keepsake of our time together, reminding students of the friendships and learning experiences they’ve had in our classroom.

In addition to the personalized blankets, each student will receive a Brain Quest workbook to help combat summer learning loss. These workbooks will provide engaging activities in math and reading, ensuring students continue to sharpen their skills while having fun during the break.

Lastly, I’m requesting cooling towels to add to the giveaway. These will keep my students refreshed during the hot summer months and encourage them to stay active while enjoying their vacation.
