A Great Start For Great Students

Help me give my students a great start to the new school year with brand new everyday used supplies and mentor texts.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Smith's classroom raised $252

This project is fully funded

My Project

The students in my Title 1 classroom work hard every single day. They give all of their effort and come in smiling everyday despite any challenges in their home life. My students need everyday used supplies such as markers, folders, tape, glue and dry erase erasers.

With these everyday used supplies the students will be able to complete independent work while taking ownership over their learning.

They will be read the wonderful mentor texts in this project and try to emulate the authors that they are exposed to.

Help make a difference in the lives of student in Philadelphia!
