Ms. Bloom's Going Back to Elementary School!

The Description

As a second-year teacher, I have clear eyes, a full heart, and am ready to take on new challenges. Last year I taught 90+ remarkable sixth graders who displayed amazing growth, but I knew I would be best suited as an elementary school teacher. I am ecstatic that this year I will be teaching first grade! This grade change is exciting, but also nerve-racking. My school is on the verge of closing and lacks basic supplies. My students come from varying backgrounds and are beyond enthusiastic about learning. While many of my students are considered below grade level (I know shocking considering it is only first grade) they still have a passion for learning and engaging meaningful relationships! I am raising money for basic supplies. Unfortunately, I don't know what materials my school will have, but if last year was any indication, I will need everything from pencils to paper towels to soap to dry erase markers. Please help make Ms. Bloom's University of Michigan themed first grade classroom be a safe, welcoming, inspiring place for all scholars. 

Back Up Plan

If we do not reach our goal I will purchase... as much supply to make our classroom warm, welcoming, and exciting! The goal is for students to feel safe in my classroom and to have the resources necessary to be successful.

Hi Friends - please share the link :) I am so close to $1,000! Today I went to target and had a blast at the dollar spot! I bought tools to help my students learn to tell time and basic organization materials for the classroom. I am one step closer to making my classroom a warmer, safer, more welcoming place for all students!
