My Project

Hello! My name is Jordyn, and I am currently a 5th grade teacher in my first year of education. I work at a school that has various levels of student needs and socioeconomic backgrounds. As you may know, teaching is a work of the heart, and it has absolutely been one of the highlights of my life so far! I am asking for a variety of materials that would help both myself and my students, such as books at various levels to meet all students' needs, storage to keep everything easily organized, snacks to help keep their stomachs full at school, and writing supplies to help them get by throughout our years together.
