My Project

Each year, our elementary school participates in a school-wide theme. It kicks off with the Back to School sneak peek and gets students and families excited to see all the ideas. The first days are spent with projects and stories to kick off the theme.

Our next theme, 'Dive Into Learning' allows students to immerse themselves in the underwater world and learn about the wonder and mystery of ocean animals.

The calming colors of the sea (decor resources from Oriental Trading) will help to create a peaceful atmosphere for my first graders.

These supplies will help me fill our classroom with connections to science and the plants and animals that fill the underwater world. This project, including TPT teaching resources, will also provide literature and activities that kick off the theme for students in a fun and engaging way!

Help us get supplies for students to 'swim right in' to first grade!
