Basic Classroom Supplies for Success

My students need basic supplies and cleaning wipes for a successful year. Having folders, binder clips and sharpies can keep the students materials organized and labeled. A good pencil sharpener is always so important!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nardella's classroom raised $170

My Students

My students come to school everyday ready to learn and excited to learn something new! My students love coming to school to get the attention that they all love and to hear how special they are! My students get excited whenever we have new supplies and fun ways to do math. When they are excited coming into the classroom I see that they perform better and want to excel in math for that day. They are very appreciative of anything that is new or given to them.

My Project

The folders, binder clips and sharpies will keep the students organized with a place to store their important papers and to label everything. The pencil sharpener is so essential in a math classroom. The sticky notes will help the students jot their ideas down and keep them on the page where they had the thought or question.

These materials will improve my classroom by giving the students the basic tools they need to complete their school assignments.

All of these classroom supplies will help my students be successful and have a great school year. They all appreciate any supplies that they have.
