A Cool, Fresh Start

My Project

The portable air conditioner will help us cool down our hot classroom as we begin a new school year in the hot temperatures. The new rug will add to the cozy feel of our classroom while helping us recognize and learn letters. These are a few snacks to get us started for the year and set us up for success.

I strive to make my classroom welcoming and comforting while meeting everyone's needs.

My students deserve a comfortable learning environment which requires a portable air conditioning unit in these hot summer months. We always need snacks to keep us going, and these are a few that can get us off to a good start.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
