My Project

I am working with a fellow teacher to provide an end of the year gift for all of our first grade students. We are planning a First Grade End of Year Celebration and would like to present our students with a memorable gift to start their summer.

A SUMMER BUCKET OF FUN filled with beach balls, sunglasses, bubbles and a book that our students can use to kick off their summer after a wonderful first grade year would be amazing!

Our first grade students come into the school each morning full of life. They are eager to learn and do their personal best to make each of our classrooms a fun, engaging place to be. They work as a team. They are considerate, responsible, and respectful students. We would like to end our year by showing them how much we appreciate all the hard work they displayed throughout the year.
