My Project

I just got hired as a new 1st grade teacher! I am so excited for my first year of teaching! As a first year teacher, setting up a new classroom can be really expensive. However, I am dedicated to giving my students the best learning opportunities possible, and want to set up an enriching classroom environment. Some of the things that I am looking for are, writing supplies, such as mini white boards, and pencils to help with math and language arts lessons. New books to add to my classroom library, I have included books that will help with comprehension, rate and fluency skills. Magnifying glasses, clipboards and other stem related items intended to help my students to have a more hands-on learning experience. I have also added basic classroom supplies to get us through the school year. Your donations will help my students to develop a deep love of learning, hands on learning activities, and a more enriching learning environment. Any help is greatly appreciated!
