My Project

I am a first year teacher and I want to give my students the best. I would love to finish creating a safe place for my students to have a place of stability. Most needed is a rug as we will meet there many times a day. I want my students to feel at home and be able to have everything we need in a daily basis. Another item needed is snacks, and storage. I never want anyone to feel hungry in my room. If they are hungry they aren't learning. I would be so appreciative of any funding to help me start my first year. Storage will help with daily supplies , and drawers will help organize work.
