First Year Teacher Needs

Help me give my students classroom supplies. As a first year teacher, anything is needed to help students succeed and learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Renzi's classroom raised $1,134

My Project

My students love hands on activities. Their favorite part of the day is small group stations. They love to be involved and learn by touching.

More supplies would be very helpful to their learning.

They would benefit from white board supplies. They love STEM games and sensory toys. Young students have a great imagination and love to create. Bins and organizers would be a great way to have stations organized by knowing where things are and make them easy to grab to begin work.

My students have come a long way this year. It is my first year, and I have learned a lot as the year has gone on. They are the best and have made me love being a teacher.
