Ms. Reynolds from Lakeside AZ is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Back to School

Help me give my students the materials they need to start the year off right! We need classroom basics, like pencils, glue, and paper, and the first book they'll read in class!

My Project

My fifth graders will be switching between classes. It can be stressful for them to go from class to class. Having the materials they'll need for my class that stay in our class will help them to be better organized and have less they'll need to take back and forth with them. Classroom basics like glue, pencils, and paper will be used daily by students.

As an English Language Arts teacher, I always start the year off by reading Matilda by Roald Dahl to the class.

This year, I am asking for a class set so my students can read along with me! The story inspires my students to read, work hard, and make learning a priority.
