My Project

Thank you for investing in our learners, classroom community, and school. Our students deserve every opportunity to reach success and have equitable access to engaging materials and everyday tools that support our classroom structure. We are so excited about the project Basic Classroom Essentials and we hope you are too!

Many of the tools that we use every day are basic supplies that support our learning and classroom and learning structures.

Tools such as electric pencil sharpeners, binders, and post-it paper are essential to keep things moving and also give students varied learning opportunities. Students use post-it paper to create posters in reading with character sketches and graphic organizers in their science and social studies vocabulary, and to share their thinking visibly with their peers! We are hopeful to use binders to capture best works throughout the year and house our data tracking and goal setting along the way and the pencil sharpener is like the classroom toaster - used EVERY day! These tools are essentials but also bring joy throughout our day and flexibility in our learning.

Thank you for your generosity and support in creating the best learning space possible for our deserving students so that they feel seen and valued. Having new and engaging motivators will go a long way to support our learners and our learning space. We are so grateful!
