Let the Learning Begin! Pre-School..It Starts Here!

Help me give my students the items that they need to start their first year of school. We want to provide a safe, welcoming, nurturing, inclusive learning environment for every child to learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Baxter's classroom raised $659

My Project

These items that I have asked for will allow the students to have a welcoming, inviting, organized classroom. This will be the first time in a school setting so preparing for now and beyond is the goal. The materials are all the things they will need to hone in on developmental skills, fine motor, social/ emotional skills. They will be able to safely enjoy learning material during small groups, have a safe space in our cozy area and we need ways to engaged and encourage our English language learners. Thank you in advance.
