Help a New Teacher!

Help me give my students the wonderful year they deserve. I moved schools and grades and an now working with 5th graders. I'm so excited for this opportunity and would love some things to support them.

My Project

I love teaching and am so excited for a new year. I’ve been in education for a while in a number of roles. This will be my first full year as a 5th grade teacher. Unfortunately, funding my own classroom is outside of what I can do on my own. I work in a title 1 school and this will mean a lot to my students. Please consider helping me so that I can make my student’s year wonderful.

The supplies that I’m in need of are to help students in a variety of ways.

First, I have some prizes to help with classroom culture. The mini fridge with help me with science projects and student lunches. The owl pellets will help with our science unit on the ecosystem. The laminator will me to keep materials for longer and for projects the students want to keep. Lastly, fidget toys help all learners.

Thank you so much for contributing! I really appreciate it.
