My Project

Over the past couple of years, I have seen many students come into my 1st-grade room and struggle both academically and socially. During the pandemic, it made it very hard for these students to play with others and build those important life skills. I want to help these little ones learn while playing and having fun. These math games, flexible seating, and other supplies would not only help those who need extra supplies but also students who need to be a little more active during their learning day. I hope to incorporate fun and helpful learning seating as well as opportunities for them to learn outside of just their desks with paper!
