My Project

I am a first year teacher that was moved to 3rd grade in December, I am still getting my feet wet with teaching and realized how much I truly needed. These are some essentials that I feel I need to help my students have fun in my classroom. With the colder weather upon us, we have indoor recess. Most of the games that I have are smaller and seem to be a bit boring for some of my students, so I wanted to get games for them to enjoy during that time. The other items I wanted to ask for are due to the organization and instruction that have been helping my students.

My goal for this is to better help my students enjoy being in the classroom and help them stay on top of things and learn better with posters and charts that we can make together.

My students are my top priority and I want make sure that their 3rd grade year is the best one yet. Having these supplies can help me reach my goals in my classroom and set my students up for success!
