My Project

Even though I teach in a rural Title I school, our small community has a big heart for educational learning! My first-grade students are eager learners and outstanding citizens within our school, so I am seeking support for a class set of 3-ring binders and My First Ticonderoga pencils, both of which will set us up for success next year.

My goal for this project is to provide the necessary items for our small reading and phonics group work.

These sturdy binders will contain our phonics work and reading passages while keeping our papers organized. It will reduce the amount of lost or crumpled papers and will endure throughout the school year.

The My First Ticonderoga pencils are notably the best pencils I have found for first graders and are an important school supply item. Thank you for your time and consideration in supporting our fun first graders!
