1st Grade Classroom Supplies

My students need journals, crayons, scissors, glue, and privacy partitions in order to start off, and to continue to have, an academically successful school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Carle's classroom raised $437

My Students

Our classroom is based on the balanced literacy or workshop model. This means that a good portion of the students' day is spent independently completing tasks within groups or pairs while I conduct small group learning opportunities based specifically on each student's educational needs.

Our urban school is a small, quiet place tucked back in the outskirts of the city filled with about 300 amazing students ranging from grades k-8.

My 2015/2016 1st grade class will consist of thirty active students with big hearts and exceptionally inquisitive minds. They LOVE to work hard, ask questions, and create which is why these materials are so important to kicking off the year fully prepared.

My Project

I am requesting writing journals, glue, scissors, people-colored crayons, supply caddies, and privacy partitions so we can start off the school year confidently prepared to take on all essential tasks. Each of these materials will help us accomplish or daily goals and routines such as art projects, journaling, and assessing academic progress.

By having the materials in the classroom waiting for the kids when they come in on the first day of school, they will know the classroom was prepared specifically for them!

Also, the privacy partitions will have an extremely positive impact on assessment times since we will no longer have to make big scenes that take up time (and the students out of their comfort zones) to move and separate desks throughout the room.
