My Project

First grade is all about establishing the fundamental skills that will carry students through their lives. Help me put the “fun” in FUNdamentals!

This project will give us the materials for a carnival room transformation!

This will serve as a double duty concept review day and reward day. Students will work to earn tickets as they practice the skills we have worked on, and it will feel like a reward day at the same time. With carnival decor and games, students will be completely engaged in completing the review activities I have planned for them. I want my students to have a year to remember, and with your help we can give them that! This set of materials will be reusable, so I will be able to share them with my first grade level team. Doing so will reach all of our students (about 100 students a year) for years to come, impacting hundreds, if not thousands of students over time!
