My Project

I’m excited to get a head start on the upcoming school year as I transition to teaching 4th grade for the first time. The items I’m requesting will help create a warm and welcoming environment for my students. The sitting stools will provide flexible seating options, allowing students to work in a way that suits them best. The area rug will offer a cozy spot for our morning meetings, unpacking, or relaxing with a good book after a busy day. The markers and other resources will help us jump-start the year with everything we need to succeed.
