My Project

I love my first grade students! They are like little sponges soaking up knowledge! I refer to all the basic supplies that are needed every day as “Tools for Learning.” My students will use or benefit from every single item I ordered on a daily basis. These items will make a difference for my students because if students have the needed supplies for learning, they are more successful. My goal for the project is to keep every student in my class engaged as well as healthy the entire school year.
