My First Classroom!

Help me give my students a classroom rug, STEM activities, manipulatives, and a sharpener.

My Project

This will be my first year teaching! I will be teaching the first grade. A rug would be where my students can sit comfortably on the floor and be able to do activities and be close and engaged with the board.

I do not have any manipulatives or STEM toys for my students to be able to learn from and be hands-on visually.

My goal for this project is to get my students certain things that will help them be successful in this school year. I would greatly appreciate any help. These project cubes and building blocks will be so important. I am requesting an organizing bin and cart for our classroom, too.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
