My Project

I have the awesome privilege of teaching a fabulous group of Montessori students at a public school. I have 24 eager little ones who deserve to have all the wonderful learning experiences that I can bring to them with your help.

The materials that I am requesting will help provide the delivery of breakfast/lunch to our classroom and also provide my students with everyday basic supplies for daily work.

Copy paper and card stock will be used to make sight word books to help with learning to read. Our calendar will be used for meeting time on the rug. Playdoh and paint sets will be used to create artwork and making letters. It’s the little things that help make our classroom run and with your help, it will be an amazing year. Thank you for your support!
