My Project
Hi, my name is Ms. Herrrmann. I teach first grade at a Title I school. Over 80% of our students receive free or reduced price lunches. The classroom rug is the center of our classroom and a place where we do a lot of our learning. This rug will help my students establish boundaries in finding their own space and assist with daily routines. A new classroom rug will provide a clean and safe place for all my students, and a welcoming environment for supporting my learners' academic and social-emotional skills. It's a great place develop the skills to build community and connect as a classroom family.
I love to provide my students with a clean and inviting classroom from August all the way to May.
We are also asking for precut tennis balls for our furniture to help protect our freshly waxed classroom floors in August. When furniture is moved several times a day, like chairs, it can leave small scratches on the floors, and this leads to our classroom looking dull and dirty. I feel that working in a clean and organized environment is important for students to be excited and ready for the day ahead, so their full potential can be reached.
My students need a classroom laminator to help protect their amazing projects and keepsakes. A classroom laminator will enable me to preserve student created keepsakes and projects without the worry of it being damaged. I know parents will love these keepsakes as memories of their child’s first-grade year.
