My Project

A classroom is always hard to manage if we don't have the basic necessities.

In our classroom, having these basic items are essential to a functional classroom.

We use these supplies every day, multiple times a day. A lot of my students come from families that can't provide the basic materials needed in the classroom, therefore I've bought several sets of supplies. But we have quickly discovered it won't last the rest of the school year. These supplies will help us continue to learn and grow throughout the school year. Supplies such as pencils, glue sticks, post it notes, crayons and erasers are essentials in our classroom. We use pencils and glue daily for classwork assignments. We use post it notes and pencils in our guided reading groups to complete word work activities. Please consider donating to this project so my students will have materials needed to be successful in class.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
