My Project

Our students are so excited to be moving to a new school! They are more than deserving of the new facility we will be moving to at the end of the year. However, we've been asked to leave many of the big classroom materials and supplies behind. In this DonorsChoose you will see both supplies and classroom décor that will help us in our new building.

Providing a comfortable and safe learning environment for my students is most important to me as a teacher.

Supplies that my students will need are composition notebooks, highlighters, and pens. All of these materials will be used across grade level subjects and help deepen student learning. For organizational purposes, I have added magnetic labels/nametags and hooks. These will come in handy when getting settled into our new classroom. Lastly, there are a number of items that will help create a safe and comfortable learning environment. These items include lamps, lightening strips, bulletin board paper, border materials, and a cute "welcome" sign. ALL of these items WILL make a difference in my students learning.
