My Project

Each year, our elementary school participates in a school-wide theme. It kicks off with the back to school sneak peek, and gets students and families excited to see all the ideas. The first days are spent with projects and stories to kick off the theme.

Our next theme, 'We Are Wild About Learning' allows students to go on a safari adventure throughout the school year while sparking their curiosity about various animals and the ecosystems they live in.

This visually engaging theme will create a fun and vibrant atmosphere within our classroom. This will be completed by the bulletin board decor, the realistic animal figurines, picture books, and the Teacher Pay Teacher gift card to download projects and materials that are safari themed.

These supplies will help me fill our classroom with connections to science and the plants and animals that make up jungle life. This project, including Teacher Pay Teacher gift card for resources, will also provide literature and activities that kick off the theme for students in a fun and engaging way!

Help us get supplies for students to 'get wild about learning' in first grade!
