My Project

I am going to start with some 25+ new 3rd graders who are amazing and quiet talented. I want to make sure they get the tools they need to have great success throughtout the year. I want them to be ready to learn and to perform their best. Giving my students the basic tools of pens, pencils, rulers, coloring supplies, and more more will make their journey in 3rd grade smooth and sucessful. I want them to feel welcomed and loved in having everything they need at their fingertips and be ready to go.

Mrs. Oza PS/MS 42 R Vernam Grades 3-5
