My Project

I recently graduated from the University of West Georgia in December with a bachelors in Elementary Education. I have been dreaming about my future students and future classroom and can’t believe that I’ll be getting to meet them and start my journey in August!

It is important to me that every one of my students feels safe and supported in my classroom and has everything they need.

I plan to use the floor cushions, printer, headphones, crayons, and other everyday basics to start setting up my first classroom, ensuring I have the tools I need for my students. These basic supplies are essential for students to complete their work.

I am so excited to begin my first year in August and to start getting my very first classroom ready! Thank you to everyone who donates to teachers' classrooms.
