My Project
Our classroom is part of an early literacy grant program, and despite the inflation on costs for new materials, our funding remains the same. We would love to update our materials, many of which are worn out and unusable at this point.
Our students are eager to learn, and what better way to help them enjoy what they're learning than to make it fun?
Help us to make this dream a reality for the students in our program, with theme books and activities, puppets, puzzles, math activities, storage, and more. Ee can't wait to open up a whole new world of learning!
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
