My Project

We all know students can't learn if they are hungry, physical needs come first! Help me supply snacks for my classroom for the ones that are not able to provide one themselves. We also know that rainy days in the classroom can drag on forever. Consider helping provide my students with fun indoor and outdoor recess activities to make recess more fun and fuel collaboration.

Healthy snacks lead to healthy minds!

Group activities provide more opportunities to collaborate with others to build relationships inside and out of the classroom! Stuffed Buddies will be used in the reading/calm down corner and be with class rewards.
