8th Grade ELA Library and Classroom Supplies

Help me give my students more books, basic classroom supplies, like pencils and art supplies for projects, and positive behavior incentives. Thank you!

My Project

My 8th grade ELA class needs more books for students. They can check books directly related to their curriculum, but we need more so they have variety. Additionally, these books need to represent the students.

Students also need basic classroom supplies, like pencils and art, for daily or weekly projects.

Lastly, students have an effective positive behavior incentive at the end of class. I have spent tons of money on their rewards, but I would love some help! Thank you!
