My Project

Hello all! My project provides many options for learning through play during my students first year of school! It also includes tools for me to communicate with families and keep our classroom nice and organized.

In a title 1 school, many of the listed items are things that our parents aren’t able to provide.

Receiving these items will ensure that parents are always informed of what goes on in our classroom and improve student engagement as well keep items easily accessible to students and staff members.

The goal for every student to love learning.
