Basic Classroom Supplies for Pre-K Kids

Help me give my students basic art and class supplies such as primary pencils, chart papers, dry-erase markers, crayons, writing paper, and much more. These things are necessities for any classroom. We desperately need them.

FULLY FUNDED! Teacher Foster's classroom raised $423

My Project

Students are hard workers. They are curious and excited about the new things they are learning. How can they grow and learn without basic classroom supplies such as primary pencils, writing paper, crayons, and dry-erase markers? These are basic tools that all classrooms should have. Unfortunately, we are very low on these supplies. Many times, students are using broken, and dull crayons that are hard to use for coloring. The pencils are almost down to the erasers.

This is such a challenge for young learners when they don't have these basic supplies to help them grow.

Please help my Pre-K students get these basic classroom supplies so that students can fully engage in learning, and pick up the grade-level skills they need to be successful scholars. We are so grateful for your interest in helping our classroom get these very basic supplies.
