FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hughes's classroom raised $701

My Project

As a first-year teacher, I am focused on providing essential supplies for my first-grade classroom, where students aged 6-7 will learn and grow. My goal is to create a colorful, welcoming, and hands-on learning environment, particularly for my many military students, by fostering a supportive and inviting atmosphere where every child can thrive. This project will provide everyday supplies to enhance classroom organization and include games that support literacy and mathematics learning. I also aim to incorporate resources to help support learning for other subjects. Thank you for your generosity and support! By supporting this project, you’re helping to build a strong foundation for their educational journey and ensuring they feel welcomed and excited to learn.
