Ms. Carter's 1st Grade class 25-26

Help me give my students a rug, pillows, books, and other supplies they need in order to be successful this year. This includes phonics games and leveled books, math tools, and decor to create a nurturing environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carter's classroom raised $437

My Project

My students are kinesthetic, hands-on learners that love to take initiative with their learning. These phonics and math games will help support my students creativity and learning preferences in new and exciting ways. The decor bundles will help create a safe and nurturing environment for my new students coming in this year.

This is my third year teaching and am continuously finding new ways to support my students.

With that being said, I need all the help I can get in order to get the resources my students deserve this year.
