First Year Excitement

Help me give my students the best classroom experience possible! I am a first year teacher, getting her own classroom and having to start with nothing.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lowe's classroom raised $840

My Project

Hello! I am a first year teacher getting her own classroom and starting with nothing! I want to be able to give my students the very best because they deserve it! You will notice everything in my cart is fundamental to starting out a classroom!

I want to be able to give my new students the fun, flexible, and learning rich classroom they deserve.

This includes flexible seating for my classroom library and small group tables, crayons and construction paper for art projects, stem bin materials for free exploration and play, and so much more! My school is a Title 1 school and I want to make my classroom a home away from home for my future kiddos. I want them to be excited about coming to school because they love the environment that they are in. We spend all day in our classrooms, and I want it to be functional as well as homey.

All help is greatly appreciated and will be loved for multiple years to come. Thank you for any and all support to a small first year teacher just trying to make this the best year yet for her students! :)
