My Project

I’m excited to open up a new 1st grade classroom in the fall! I’ve been teacher upper elementary for a long time and do not have what I need for my students. In order to give my students, the best learning opportunity possible, I am requesting some children’s books, a circle time carpet, individual round carpet pieces and flexible seating options! I’m so very excited for this opportunity, but I need your help! My students deserve the best and I’m so blessed to be their teacher! Any donation is appreciated and will be put to good use!
