My Project

This project will help ensure my first grade students have all of the important materials they will need to be successful this school year! I want to make sure my classroom provides students with what they need so they do not have to come to school worried about supplies because they know I have it ready for them! By providing students with the back to school basics, such as pencils, glue sticks, crayons, and scissors it helps take the strain off of parents in the school and even the students within.

Ms. Simmons Guilford Elementary School Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
