FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Addison's classroom raised $227

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We are beginning a new school year and I am at a new school. This means having to restock the classroom with some of the basic things to help get the year started off well.

In first grade we will do some journaling and the composition notebooks will be a good tool to help students keep up with their thoughts.

The pencils will ensure that we always have something to write with and the tissues will help us be prepared for the soon coming change in seasons. Desk tags will serve as a reference tools for students for writing the letters, days of the week and months of the year. My students are amazing and I want to ensure that we have what we need to start the year off right.
