Welcome to a New Beautiful Community, Wildcats!

Help me give my students a safe and inclusive space as we build our new community in 3rd grade!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fennell's classroom raised $1,385

This project is fully funded

My Project

The items I have chosen are items that will help me set up a new space in a new school for my I coming third grader learners. I am going back in to the self contained classroom after teaching music for two years. Many of the books I have chosen are in two of the highest language needs in my new school community, Spanish and Dari. Moving to a new school means I can’t take my carpet with me so choosing this new carpet space which has welcome in different languages to help foster communication in any way possible.

Easy organization option will also help us to have a cohesive learning environment where we can all learn, grow and thrive!
