My Project

As a first-year second-grade teacher, I’m working hard to create a welcoming and organized classroom where my students can feel safe and excited to learn. Since I’m starting from scratch, I need basic supplies like storage, learning tools, and classroom materials. These resources will help students stay focused, take care of their things, and take part in fun and hands-on activities like math centers, writing time, and group projects. With your support, I can build a strong learning environment where my students grow, learn, and feel proud of themselves every day. Thank you for helping us start this journey!
