Planting the Seeds of Growth!

This project is fully funded

My Project

These items will help my students have a fun and engaging learning experience (while helping me stay organized). The snack food will ensure that my students are not hungry and that they can fully engage in necessary learning. The stickers and prizes will give my students incentives to display academic and behavioral expectations. The flexible seating and lighting will ensure my students are comfortable while learning. I am excited for the CVC manipulatives and the fidgets for my students that need extra support. I appreciate all the help in assisting my classroom to flourish!
