My Project

Please consider donating to my new classroom as I begin teaching a new grade level. I have previously taught in younger grades, so I am in need of higher grade level books to fill my classroom library.

Please help provide my students with new books to provide them with grade level material.

Whiteboards will be used in my classroom on a daily basis, so the white board markers will get lots of love. I am eager to create new bulletin boards that will have the students feeling welcomed in to their new classroom. Thank you!
