My Project

I am a first year teacher for 9th grade math. I need help setting up a successful learning environment for my future students. I am asking for welcoming classroom decor, student supplies such as erasers and counters for practice time, and incentive supplies such as punch cards. With the help of a few items my year will be off to a strong start.

I want to welcome my new students with a put together classroom and teacher.

I have the education and motivation to be a put together teacher, but the room is lacking. Please help me be successful.

Mrs. Lewis will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 15.
