My Project

Hello!

My name Samantha Pennington.

I am a 6th grade ELA teacher in Gilbert. This is my first year teaching and I would love to spoil my students with supplies and manipulative for my classroom. It would be great to have extra supplies for students who are unable to bring their own. It would also be nice to have ELA games and activities for them to help their learning. I would also love to have more books for my classroom library! I would like to get supplies such as markers and crayons so my kids can do projects. For example right now they are working on creating a graphic novel for a book we are reading. I love my job and my students and what them to have the best!
