Help me give my students a fully stocked classroom with all of the basics!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pratt's classroom raised $600

My Project

I've been teaching for seven years, but recently moved states and am looking to create a space in my new school that meets the needs of my students, and provides them with a clean, organized, and welcoming space.. but that can get expensive!

Please help me provide my students with everything they need - from hair ties and bandaids to pens and pencils!

With your help, I will create a space with empowering posters and information on the walls and vibrant colors on the whiteboards and anchor charts. I want my students to see historical figures that look like them represented in our classroom. I'll be able to keep my student station fully stocked with everything they need throughout the day with paper clips, pens, band-aids, and more.
