5th Grade School/Classroom Supplies

Help me give my students Classroom necessities for my first 5th grade classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vermeulen's classroom raised $739

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school is located in the Austin community on the West side of Chicago with more than 90% of our student population identifying as low income and approximately 25% of our student population are diverse learners. I have taught 6th grade for two years and am now moving to 5th and with that move I need to refresh my classroom. With these school supplies and classroom supplies, you will be able to help my students thrive in an environment that fosters learning, growth, and acceptance. Our students should not have to worry about having school supplies. My goal is to have everything in the classroom they need and I need in order to make it a space where they can learn and grow! These are the supplies and books I have left to get. I appreciate your help in making this happen for my students!
