My Students

I have twenty-five amazing first graders who are energetic, enthusiastic, motivated, and special. My students like to move, twist, stand, sit, and, most importantly, learn. My students are in an urban community, and many students receive free or reduced-price lunch. Our classroom furniture is outdated, and I am looking to transform my everyday classroom into a kinesthetic learning environment to best meet the needs of all of my students. The students in my classroom range from regular education to ESL to special education. My high expectations and drive bring me to this project for my students.

My Project

My students enjoy doing crafts in the classroom. I would like to do a Valentine's Day craft with my students involving window art and scratch paper art. These crafts will be done in school before Valentine's Day so they can take them home for their parents.

I'm requesting Suncatcher Hanging Window Decoration Kits and Valentine Scratch Paper Ornaments.

These activities will be fun to do in the first grade classroom.

I also wanted to give my first graders a little treat for Valentine's Day of Superhero Lollipops because they are my little heroes and also some gummy bears for a fun treat on Valentine's Day! My students are learning so much in first grade and it is nice to be able to give them treats now and then!

Thank you for supporting my first graders and helping them have a fun year in first grade!
