My Project
I love to welcome students back to a new school year with a refreshing look to the room and provide them with an inviting learning experience when they come to second grade. With the gift card for Teachers Pay Teacher's, I will be able to access many team building activities to kick off the year as well as resources to help with social emotional learning as they transition to a new grade.
In addition, I hope to inspire their love for reading with book pouches so that they can take books home from the classroom library.
More than half of students from low‑income households
