My Project

Hi everyone!

I am a first year teacher looking to get supplies for my second grade classroom.

It is a Title One school, therefore, there are not many materials available to my students. With your help, we can give these students all the things necessary to be successful second graders, such as a rug to gather for lessons, storage for learning materials, and easel pads for anchor charts and posters! My students will be so grateful to have all of these supplies to get the most out of their school year.

I am so excited to dive into the world of teaching and can't wait to grow alongside my kids. Thank you in advance!
