My Project

In our vibrant first-grade classroom, learning is hands-on, joyful, and full of discovery! To keep our routines running smoothly and maximize learning time, we are seeking support for a few essential items.

We’re in need of updated storage bins for our morning tub activities—our current bins have seen better days after all the fun and daily use.

These bins help us stay organized and allow students to engage independently as they start their day.

We also need headphones for students who aren’t able to bring their own from home. These are critical for individualized learning on devices, especially during literacy and math centers.

Lastly, we’re excited to incorporate ABC Rainbow Arc Learning Mats into our small group instruction. These tools align with the Science of Reading and will give students engaging, tactile ways to build phonemic awareness and strengthen foundational reading skills.

Your support will help create a more organized, equitable, and literacy-rich environment where all students can thrive. Thank you for investing in our little learners!
