First Thing First...
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ceresia's classroom raised $1,098
This project is fully funded
My Project
A new school year is on the horizon! I have a fresh group of students getting ready to enter first grade and need fresh supplies for both them, and their teachers, to start the school year strong.
The transition from kindergarten to first grade is a big one and students need the tools to help them become more independent in first grade.
New headphones, dry erase boards, and individual school supplies for them to manage independently assist them in that transition. Much of my classroom is organized by color, so the folders, paper, and lamination tools will be very helpful when creating the organizational system.
Thank you in advance for helping set my students up to be successful this year!
This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
and 9 other donors.
