Back to Teaching First Grade and Ready for Fun!

Help me give my students the organizational, creative and motivational tools to keep them motivated and learning! Things like specialized folders, colorful markers, and motivational homework prizes seem like small things, but they make a big difference!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Reynolds's classroom raised $998

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Having spent my first 21 years of teaching in first grade, I know that first graders are motivated by exciting learning and organizational tools, fantastic books, motivational goal setting, and a playful atmosphere!

Exciting pens to edit work, homework cards to keep them motivated, fun prizes for students that reach homework goals, colorful posters, cool four-pocket subject folders, and stuffed animals to go with read-aloud books all lend themselves to a fun first-grade classroom experience!

Creative, fun, playful materials will keep my first graders smiling, motivated, and learning up a storm!
