My Project

I have such a special group of students coming up to first grade this year. The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! The large carpet will be placed in the front of the classroom and used as a relaxing gathering place for students to learn for mini lessons.

The flexible seating aims to create a more comfortable, engaging, adaptable learning environment for my students.

Having a common gathering place and flexible seating promotes collaboration, community, and support diverse learning environments.
