My Project

It might seem a little early, but, I am already looking ahead to the next school year!! The supplies requested in this project will be used to create an amazing classroom environment for my wonderful third graders.

A welcoming classroom enhances the learning experience, promotes a sense of community, and contributes to students' well-being.

The magnetic file holders will provide organized acess for student Math materials. Students will also be welcomed back-to-school with star pens and smiley mazes attatched to colorful cards stating it is going to be an "a-maze-ing" year!! The Kleenex and hand wipes requested are items we never seem to have enough of. It is my goal to make learning fun and interactive. The materials requested in this project will definitely help us reach that goal. Thank you for considering donating to this project!!
