First Grade Here We Come!

My Project

I am so excited for the opportunity to meet and teach my next bunch of little learners! With this grant, I will be able to purchase the complete set of Bob Books. With these books each student will have one-on-one reading time with their 6th grade buddy, increasing the likelihood students will leave 1st grade as highly proficient readers! This is my number one academic goal for my first grade students.

I've also added engaging, fun and interesting learning materials and extra-curricular activities that are first-grade appropriate including classroom incentives, supplies and educational activities.

We are requesting stickers, paper and more.
