A Brand New Year

Help me give my students writing journals, pencil boxes, and other classroom supplies needed to help make this a great year for all my students.

My Project

As the '25-'26 school year comes to a close we are in need of supplies for the upcoming school year. This project, if fully funded, will provide us with essential items needed to help make our classroom run smoothly. Our school is a Title 1 School which means most of our children come from low income households. This project would take some of the burden off of the parents.

It is such a joy teaching these children and watching them gain confidence in their reading, writing and math skills.

These supplies will help make this even more possible. The dry erase boards are used in not only math but also but also language arts and spelling. Crayons are always a must have for creative expression in art and engaging my students as they work. The folders will be used for homework and to send important papers home to the parents who can then support their students as they learn throughout the year. The writing journals will be used for journaling, language arts activities and spelling to help my students become proficient in grade level language arts skills.

I am looking forward to a new classroom of kids. I can't wait to see what the new school year will have in store for all of us.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
