A Bright Start to the Year

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cain's classroom raised $315

My Project

I am so excited to meet my new class! I am in the process of making a small reading area in our classroom. I am also getting supplies, such as pencils, and incentives ready so that they are set for the beginning of the year.

I want them to feel comfortable in our classroom and make it a fun place to work and learn this year.

The floor cushions will be the final touch for our classroom library area. The supplies and incentives will keep us stocked for most of the school year.
