Help me give my students classroom basic supplies such as pencils, glue sticks, and scissors.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Crane's classroom raised $156

My Students

I teach fourth grade at a Title I school in Michigan. My students are always so excited to learn new things. My goal is to provide them with multiple ways to learn and show their learning. This year, my students have a wide range of abilities and instructional needs. I need ways to help best reach them as learners.

My students are a fantastic group of kids who enjoy learning.

I am on a mission to pass on my love of learning to my students. My classroom is a safe haven for them. I want to provide as many fun and engaging learning opportunities for them, as well as having a comforting environment.

My Project

This upcoming school year has a lot of uncertainty. The materials I have requested in this project can be used for both in school and distance learning. These supplies will help my fourth graders get a great start to the new school year.

Many students start the year without the supplies that help with instruction.

We are always needing basic supplies such as pencils, glue sticks, scissors, pens, and paper. The 24 count bags will allow students to have independent bags for their supplies and books to take home. Students will also be able to have their own dry erase eraser instead of having to share.

I will also be able to use some of the materials to instruct the students from either the classroom or at home. The Astrobrights paper and cardstock will allow me to color code items as well as make them reusable.
