My Project
Hello! I’m preparing for my first year as an elementary school teacher, and I couldn’t be more excited to create a classroom that’s welcoming, engaging, and safe for every student.
As a new teacher, I’m starting from scratch—so this wish list includes classroom essentials, learning tools, and cozy touches to help build a space where kids feel excited to learn every day.
This table will help me will small group work and helping students individually.
Your support—whether it’s a book, a pack of markers, or even just words of encouragement—means the world to me and my future students.
Every single item will be used with love and gratitude. Thank you for helping me build something special from the ground up!
