Back-to-School Basics

Help me give my students the basic supplies they need for the new school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Chung's classroom raised $456

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These school supplies will continue to support the organized, engaging classroom that I strive to create. My students learn best when they have the tools they need from the beginning of the school year, whether they’re writing stories, solving math problems, or completing group projects. The supplies may seem like small things, but they make a big difference in helping students feel prepared and confident. I’ve chosen these items with my students in mind and I’ve seen how excited they can get to have fresh supplies and how much more focused they become when they don’t have to worry about missing materials.

With these new supplies, my students will be able to stay organized with pocket folders, express their creativity, and dive into their learning right from the start of the school year.

They’ll be able to keep their work neat and take pride in what they create. The best way to help students succeed is to give them the tools they need to learn, and these classroom basics like erasers and colored pencils will support a positive and productive learning environment. My students already show so much excitement about school, and this project will only help them start the year strong and ready to learn.
