My Project

My students deserve the best resources, and I would greatly appreciate your help in achieving that! So many of my students want to move around while they learn, so the wiggle seats requested will get a lot of use. Also, the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" books are in such demand in my room, I can never keep any of them on the shelves! The students will be thrilled to see our classroom collection expand.

Thank you in advance for helping provide my scholars with the gift of learning materials, and for your remarkable generosity towards our happy place!

Pencils and headphones are essential for the students to be able to do their best work, and are always being searched for. I'm hoping that labeling drawstring bags with their names on them helps them keep track of those materials more easily while transitioning from class to class!
