Support Itzel by viewing theirStarr Salinas
From Starr:
Hi! My name is Starr Salinas, and I am a second-year third-grade teacher. Third grade is one of the biggest jumps a student will experience in their school career. Students are now reading to learn, versus learning to read. After my first year of teaching, I learned what supplies would be necessary for my students to grasp important concepts that they are seeing for the first time ever. After third grade, these concepts build on each other, but this exposure in third grade is a huge change for them. The supplies on my list will not only help me help them to succeed but will also help them want to succeed. Thank you!
Most wanted item:
The rainbow carpet for my students library/reading corner.
