Mrs. May from Sidney KY is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Basic School Supplies for Learning

Help me give my students the basic needed supplies for learning. We are in need of paper, pencils, and crayons for use in the library to do all the learning activities on a daily basis.

My Project

During library time, I teach the students about all the aspects of the library and engage them with various types of texts and materials to create a love for reading and books. Each lesson uses basic supplies to reinforce the lesson and the copies and materials used allows them to do hands-on learning.

Please help me get the basic needed supplies for learning such as: paper, pencils and crayons.

We use these daily in the school library and all students benefit from these resources.

Our school is small, and our funds are limited, so we really appreciate your help.
