All About the Basics

Help me give my students some of the school supply basics for success.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Fry's classroom raised $436

This project is fully funded

My Project

In this project, I am requesting basic school supplies, such as whiteboards, markers, pencils, supply storage containers, as well as chart paper and sentence strips.

These supplies will allow my students to have the basic and necessary writing utensils for each lesson.

In our classroom, we use whiteboards, Expo markers daily or pencils and paper for every subject. These supplies keep students engaged and on task. Having pencils boxes to keep those writing supplies organized for each student is also vital for their success and engagement. In addition, we co-create anchor charts daily using chart paper and sentences strips. These learning tools also support student learning daily.
