Back to School Basics for HS English

Help me give my students new basic supplies to start our school year!

My Project

There are certain supplies that are always essential to get ready and to set up a high school English classroom. Binders, folders, and dividers will be used by students who don’t already have their own supplies. The pencil lead will be used by students to restock their pencils. Command strips will be used to hang up posters around the room, and the neon sign will be used to help decorate.

This project will ensure I have these essential supplies that I always need in my high school English classroom and, importantly, I won't have to purchase any of them on my own.

Please help me start the next school year off right with these essential supplies.
