Back to Basics

Help me give my students get back to basics with some helpful learning materials.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dorland's classroom raised $1,191

This project is fully funded

My Project

These back to basic items cover anything from glue sticks, to folders, calculators, to a warm and inviting place for students to learn each day. I know that these items will help them not only to learn, but to focus and have a bit of fun as well. My goals were to create a stress-free environment where students can focus on their needs and improve their thinking. Creating a stress-free environment with basic materials is important for my students as they have really gone through some stressful times these last few months.
