My Project

Our students have been working hard, and as we head into the final months of school, we want to keep their motivation and excitement high. We’re requesting engaging materials like dinosaur puzzles, games, and books to spark curiosity and support learning through play. To help reinforce their efforts, we’d love to add snacks like Rice Krispie treats, Pop-Tarts, and snack-sized chips to our classroom store. Students earn play money by completing tasks and assignments, which they can use to 'purchase' treats from the store. We also ask for classroom staples like markers and paper to support creativity and learning. One of our students especially enjoys bath bombs and loves watching them fizz and bubble — a small treat that brings a lot of joy. Thank you for helping us make these last weeks of school meaningful and fun!
