My Project

Hello! I have recently moved into this classroom in January and feel completely connected to my students and community. I have started to invest my own funds into classroom materials but unfortunately ran into the situation of needing more help. I believe in creating a space that children can learn and want to be in. I am requesting a classroom rug, string lights, boarder paper, a vacuum, math learning tools and dry erase cleaning wipes to help make our space look wonderful. My hope is to inspire the children to see that this classroom was made just for them to keep them calm, happy and have a warm and inviting learning environment. This is just the first and big step in helping the children reach their full potential in my classroom. I hope that you may fund this project and see that my students in Bridgeport, Connecticut deserve to have a beautiful space too!
