My Project

My goal is provide materials needed for my students to be successful in the classroom. With new reading manipulatives, comprehension games, and flexible seating, we will get there!

I want each student to be provided with the tools, such as new pencils, erasers, and crayons, so that they can read and write and continue to love school.

My goal is to have this project fully funded because the students in my class are what make my job so special.

They are going to be so excited when they see the new items added to our classroom!
