First Grade Firsts

Help me give my students a great start in first grade with some basic supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mikell's classroom raised $341

My Project

We are so excited for a new year in first grade with lots of firsts! Let’s start the first days off with the basic supplies we need to set up a warm, inviting classroom.

Both autistic and general education students will benefit from the teepee tent that will provide students with a calm space starting from day one.

Wiggle Wobble chairs further support students with regulation on the first days and beyond.

White backing paper and supply caddies will help us set up an organized classroom environment with minimal visual distractions.

A classroom calendar will be part of our daily morning meeting.
