My Project
I'm so excited to be starting my first year as a 3rd grade teacher, and I want to make sure my classroom is set up for success from day one! This project will help me create a vibrant, organized, and academically focused environment with hands-on math kits, daily organization tools, state posters, and student-friendly workbooks. Your support will also help me laminate important materials and give students personalized nameplates and a mail center to keep things running smoothly. With your help, I can focus on what matters most—building a classroom where every student feels ready to learn, grow, and shine!
