My Project

Hello! I am a first year teacher in a low-income school! I have 15 students who need a lot of support. These items that I have selected will help me give them that support and the learning that all students deserve! Some of the items I have chosen are refills from things that have been used or broken from my classroom within my first year and some are new things that I would like to provide for the end of the year/ the start of my next year. Thank you for considering!

Ms. Johnson
