My Project

Help me give my students a bright learning environment. I want to give them a classroom that makes them feel safe and fun.

We do not receive many funds or support for supplies, which is why DonorsChoose is so special for us.

We hope you will choose to support our classroom and make our class brighter!

Our list includes Canon Pixma printer ink cartridges. We are in desperate need of new ink for copies and color prints. We need an art drying rack for art projects and the 24 hanging storage bags for storing student headphones. The squeaking chicken will be a great attention getter during our morning meetings.

We need the sublimation items for classroom crafts and parent/holiday gifts. I have added much-needed lighting, such as the hanging lamps and lanterns, for use during nap time and calm time. The black lights will be perfect for our glow parties.

The spin mop will ensure that our floors are always clean. The electronics cleaning kit will keep our smart board clean after use. The mini dust pan and broom set are great for students to clean up messes on the tables and floors. The oscillating fan will help keep our room cool on hot Oklahoma days.

The Better Than Paper roll is great for displaying student work in our hallways. The Sharpie click pens are great for notes and grading. The multi-chargers and surge protector are great for charging devices.

The canvas organizers will be great for storing supplies. The wireless keyboard and mouse, and the large mouse pad are needed to quickly type important notes.

The bucket of pirates, pet vet play set, little people figures, and art trays are perfect for centers.

Thank you for all that you do to support classrooms, students, and teachers.
