New 1st Grade Teacher

Help me give my students what we need to start a new year. I am starting a new grade and will need more supplies geared towards younger students.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carrier's classroom raised $385

This project is fully funded

My Project

My goal is to give my students a welcoming and safe classroom with everything we need. We are a high needs title 1 school and have to provide most things that we need to make our classroom feel like a safe place. I will be starting a new grade and will need more items geared towards younger students as I taught higher level grades prior. I am going into my 3rd year teaching so I still am collecting items for my classroom. My students deserve to have the best year yet!

In 1st grade students are learning how to read so these tools will help us with a classroom library.

We need word cards, glue sticks, containers and more. Kids will learn hands-on.
