My Project

This project will help us start off our year right. Included is a rug for carpet time, folders for students to take home all their hard work, file folders to keep assessments for the year, and extra paper to ensure we have everything we need.

We want to start our year off right with everything we need!

These are some finishing touches I need for my classroom, and students need to make this year a fun and exciting success.

Every donation is greatly appreciated by me and all of the students who are touched by the things given. Thank you.
