My Project

My students are bright, curious, and eager to learn about the world around them. They love exploring new topics and asking thoughtful questions that inspire great discussions. I’m requesting new nonfiction books to spark their curiosity and build knowledge across many subjects. These books will help them connect what they read to real life and grow as confident readers.

I’m also replenishing everyday essentials like pencils and whiteboard markers.

These simple tools that keep our classroom running smoothly and help students stay focused and engaged in learning. We are also looking to get some laminating pouches to use for everyday classroom projects.
