First Year Third Grade Classroom!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Foti's classroom raised $1,313
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
This fall I'll be beginning my first year of teaching! I'll be teaching third grade in the Philadelphia school district. I'm very excited to start my career as a teacher and am looking forward to everything that encompasses!
As a first year teacher I'm looking to collect some essential items for my classroom to ensure that my students have the materials and resources they need to succeed. These items will aid me in creating an engaging and stimulating learning environment that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and academic growth. Among this, these items will set us up for a successful and fun school year!
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
