My Project

Hello and thank you for reading my grant proposal!

Well, I received word that I will be teaching Second Grade next school year--moving up from First Grade with my same class(also known as "looping").

Now, I need to plot and plan how I am going to transport all of my belongings upstairs--and it will NOT be easy!

I am asking for hand trucks and dollies to facilitate my move from the basement to the third floor; I am also asking for two bookshelves to place all of my lesson/station materials and manipulatives.

Thanks for reading!
