Back to School

Help me give my students an easy start to the school year, from their sketchbooks, pencils, scissors, crayons, and journals to organization stickers for labelling everything.

My Project

My students are amazing. Every year I get a new bunch of little learners that I get to watch grow over the course of a school year.

Being organized with the basic needs for school is extremely important to the success of the students.

I am asking for color coded stickers to make labels so that my students will have a visual aid to help them remember their space and materials. I am also asking for crayons, scissors, and pencils so that my student have their supplies they need for success. They need journals to have a space for free writing without big expectations. I am also asking for sketchbooks, because little learners love to draw. I make it a point to use some time each week for a directed drawing. At the end they get to look back at how their drawings evolve over the year.

I teach at a school in which some families struggle to make ends meet, and I am hoping my project can help alleviate some of those issues. Please consider donating to my project to help the families of my students.

Thank you very much!
