Amazing 1st Graders

My Project

I am a passionate teacher excited to teach the youth. Please help me to give my first grade students basic classroom resources and materials that will contribute to us having an awesome school year.

My students deserve more than what I can give them, but I want to make sure that they have what they need in order to succeed!

The pencils, glue sticks, scissors, clipboards, highlighters, Kleenex, markers, and folders will help me meet my student's needs that will be used on a daily basis for their education. The chair will be a fabulous addition to our classroom library. Students will have the opportunity to sit comfortably while reading for enjoyment.

My students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. There are many low-income families. I do not want there to be any burdens put on my kiddos in order for them to have certain classroom resources. I love my students and I am hoping for an awesome year. Thank you!
