My Project

I am a teacher to 18 wonderful, energetic first grade students. The school year just began and we are still in need of a few items. I am looking to provide more books and math materials for my students so that we can have a fun and productive year. Providing them these books will give my students a larger variety to choose from and also make their days a little more interesting. I would also like to make our library area more comfortable by adding items that would make them feel at home with bean bags.
