My Project

Please help my students have a great welcome back for the 2023-2024 school year!

As a teacher, I want every child to feel welcome and that first starts with supplies.

I want the room to be stocked and ready to go for the new year. So, incentives such as healthy snacks can help a student feel welcome during those first weeks when I am making an impression on the students including disabled ones.

I want the students to have a bag of snacks to help them feel like my classroom is a home away from home. Each supply such as a pencil sharpener on this list will help the children feel like the classroom is an inviting place to stay.
