Back to School Needs

Help me give my students back to school supplies to enhance their learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Zabinski's classroom raised $304

This project is fully funded

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door!. The markers, and other supplies of the sort will be used by the students, so that they can be creative in their learning. The timer will be used so that my students know how much work time they have left, as it is not good practice to cut off students without warning. The magnetic builders are for providing students time to unwind and use as a sensory tool to calm their minds and body.

My donations will be used daily for centers, small group and sensory time throughout the school day.
