Rookie Year!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Blackwell's classroom raised $361
This project is fully funded
My Project
Help me give my students basic classroom materials as a first-year teacher! I will be teaching English Language Arts to eighth-grade students this upcoming school year. The materials listed below will help me start my classroom and provide students with some supplemental learning materials. I love to keep learning student-centered, engaging, and interactive. These materials will aid in this process. Additionally, I would love to provide some flexible seating options for students and independent reading time! I hope to instill a passion for learning and reading in my classroom. Thank you so much!
