Back to School Basics
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hillery's classroom raised $549
This project is fully funded
My Project
Back to School can be fun without the stress of purchasing materials to use in school for my families. I would like to provide my students with pencils, notebooks and folders to use at school and home for homework. I would also like to have scissors, markers, and erasers to use to create projects in class. The pencil cases will keep all of the supplies organized while in school. The electric pencil sharpener is a must have in an elementary classroom.
All of the supplies will be used throughout the day, during literacy, math, science, and social studies.
This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community
