My Project

My 21 third graders are bright, eager to learn, and full of personality.

My students will thrive with the help of these basic classroom resources.

The colored copy paper will liven up their daily school work and help them stay organized. The mailboxes will allow them to easily grab and take home school flyers and graded work. We are constantly running out of pencils and it is of course one of the most important tools in school!

Overall, these basic classroom supplies will help us end our school year strong and have fun while learning!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
