My Project

As a first-year teacher, I created this project to acquire essential learning tools that make a real difference in the classroom. For instance, a $100 gift card for educational resources on Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) will allow us to select high-quality materials tailored to our students' needs. The addition of Wobble Chairs will promote active seating and help students maintain focus. Feela Composition Notebooks and Crayola Crayons will support creative writing and artistic expression. Magnetic Letters Kits and EXPO Dry Erase Markers will facilitate interactive learning, spelling practice, and engaging educational games like Counting Dinosaurs Toys and Lakeshore Splash! Games will make math learning enjoyable and hands-on. Stamp JoJoy's self-ink flash stamps and Carson DeDellosa's ASL Alphabet Posters will also introduce innovative teaching methods and enhance classroom decor. Bstoyder'sagnetic Ten Frame Set and School ZoZone'sath War Cards will reinforce foundational math skills. Essential supplies such as Construction Paper and a Quill Brand 2- or 3-hole Punch will support various classroom activities. These resources will enrich our students' learning environments and foster their academic growth and creativity. Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a lasting impact on the education of our students.
