My Project

I have been an elementary teacher for two years now and one thing I learned is that my students love incentives. They love to know that they can be rewarded for their accomplishments. But buying different incentives can become very pricey but with your help, I can get the things they need.

My students were never able to learn about STEM and going into this year, I would love to change that.

I want my students to not only learn the basic lessons but to expand their learning with STEM. My goal is to be very prepared going into this year. I have a few STEM items in the cart, as well as incentives and a chair for them to be able to sit down when they need to go to the calm down corner.

Every resource I have in the cart will help me prepare. My students are the best and they deserve the best. I want them to come into the classroom and know that they are cared about and that their teacher was fully prepared. With these materials, I can make this year the best year.
