Let's Have Some Fun With Centers

Help me give my students exciting books and games to add to their center time.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carter's classroom raised $550

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I will be teaching 20 first grade students next year. First grade students are always eager to learn. I'm always excited to see their growth throughout the school year and these items will help them reach their full potential.

These materials will help make our center time fun and exciting next year.

With new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level. With new math centers, they will be able to practice mastering skills taught during are whole group instruction.
