Maybe I am crazy, but I am already looking around and planning for the things I will need this coming fall! As the year goes on, many of my supplies dwindle or break. This is such a great opportunity to set up my classroom for success this coming school year.
I love to make each student a pencil pouch full of supplies to welcome them into my classroom.
I fill each (handmade!!) one with a few pencils, pens, erasers, lead, highlighters, and a ruler. This helps every student start out with all the supplies they need. Next, I supply each student with a math folder (which we use every day) and a composition notebook. I need contact paper to cover these notebooks so they can last all year.
The rest of the supplies (pencil sharpeners, colored pencils, erasers, golf pencils and tape) are just items I am running low on. We use these items daily and I want to make sure we always have a stock to use.
Thank you for helping me prepare my classroom for the coming year. The cost of supplying a classroom is enormous and I wouldn't be able to do it without your help.
More than half of students from low‑income households
