My Project

As this school year comes to a close, I am feeling bittersweet emotions. I will miss this year's students dearly, but I am so excited to meet my new first graders next year! Looking back at my first year of teaching, I am so grateful for my friends, family, school, and donors who have provided me with resources to enhance learning experiences for my students.

Next year, I want to provide my new students with EVEN MORE amazing learning opportunities through the supplies included in this project.

Some of these items will be replenishing supplies that I've used this year, and some will help make next year EVEN BETTER!

From flexible seating to math manipulatives to art supplies, all of these resources will help make learning in my classroom easier and so much fun! Mahalo for your donation and for supporting me and my fabulous first graders! I can't wait for next year!
