My Project

This is my twelfth year teaching third grade and with that passing of time my schools supplies begin to disappear or need to be replaced. My classroom is beautiful but lacking some basic classroom needs. Students are limited in their opportunities due to missing materials. Pencil pouches, erasers, and name tags will allow all students to work efficiently and creatively. No more messy desks covered in loose pencils and markers. No more tissues being used to erase dry erase boards.

Needing to replenish our basic school supplies shows that these third graders are hard at work.

Lastly, I look forward to making our classroom a warm and inviting space with a few decor items. I want their home away from home to be a place they are proud to learn in. Frames to showcase pictures of them would be a lovely addition to our window sills.

Mrs. Pedra will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 17.
