FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Smith's classroom raised $449

My Project

I am a first year teacher and as part of a 200 day school we want to give them everything they need to get them on the right track when it comes to reading and math. My kids come from low income families and I want them to know that with me they can strive for greatness the whole school year. Every thing mentioned will be used everyday to support there learning to help them to become the best they can be. Headphones would be used for computer programs used throughout the day. Water bottles are used to hydrate after having an exciting learning session. Crayons and color pencils are used to help make learning fun. The seat packs are used to ad extra organization skills to each child's learning space. Thanks so much for your help in making this school year's dream come true.
