In Our Back to School Era

Help me give my students new materials to have a great start to a new school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Maher's classroom raised $543

My Project

I am starting my 6th year of teacher and I am excited to welcome my students back into the classroom. The beginning of the year is always a busy time as both the students and myself adjust to being back in the routine.

By providing these materials my students will be set up for success from the beginning.

The goldfish will help them as they readjust to their school stomachs. The new books will be a great addition to our reading focus this year. The wireless mouse is a great tool that allows the students to help with morning calendar time. The yoga ball will help regulate the students and offer sensory input.

My students love hands on materials and have been asking for more magnetic tiles for a while. The puzzles are a great way to engage my students and working on fine motor skills. The TPT gift card will be helpful as I can but new materials to meet my students diverse needs.
