Back to School Basics: Preparing for the Upcoming School Year!

Help me give my students the supplies we'll need for the 2025-2026 school year!

My Project

Every year, it's important to start off the school year strong! The materials in this project will help us prepare for the 2025-2026 school year and give our preschool students the best start to school that we can. The materials have been chosen intentionally with a mix of markers, tape, and staples to support teacher preparation; as well as glue, paints, and books to support the preschool students transition back to school.

The majority of families in our class are low income and cannot afford books for their children.

The books in this project will be given directly to families to read with their children at home and a classroom copy will be added to our classroom library. Learning about the transition back to school at both home and school will help our students have a great start to the year!
