My Project

This will be my first year in an elementary classroom! I am starting fresh and need the supplies and materials to provide a successful learning environment to my students. I want to give them all the basic necessities they will need in the classroom so that all they need to worry is about is using their brains and expanding their knowledge!

A lot of the kids at my school come from low income house holds and struggle to gather all the materials needed to be productive at school.

I want to provide these materials to give them a jumpstart on their school year.

I want to fill the classroom with positivity and teach students to have a growth mindset.

I need materials to make the classroom feel welcoming and warm so that my students WANT to come to school and are EXCITED to learn!

Ms. O'Farrell
Grades 3-5
