My Project

Creating a comfortable and safe learning environment is instrumental to success in any middle school classroom. In our small, rural community there is a sense of pride and community in my school that is unlike any I have ever seen. I believe classroom management, setup, and organization is key to having a successful school year.One the first day of school next year, I want to welcome my students into an environment where they can truly thrive.

The requested items will help to create the sense of community, collaboration, and safety that every student in my school needs.

Our students come from a variety of backgrounds, but in my classroom, we are a family.

We appreciate your help in achieving our goals and equipping our classroom with everything we need not only this year but in years to come.

Mrs. Reavis
Grades 3-5
