Basic Supplies to Start A New School Year

Help me give my students basic supplies to start our 2023-2024 school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Morell's classroom raised $272

This project is fully funded

My Project

A new school year will be beginning in just a few months. Please help me provide each of my students with fresh spiral notebooks, file folders, a file folder organizer, pens, pencils, and pencil holders to support learning.

We work on reading, writing, speaking, and listening in our ESL classroom daily.

Spiral notebooks will provide a place for students to document daily work. My students love to go back and look at previous work to see their growth. They also love to share these notebooks with family members during conferences! At the end of the school year, students are proud to take their laptops/accomplishments home!

I request file folders and a folder container to store student work. We all must stay organized!

We also need fresh pens and pencils for the start of our new school year. Having a variety of writing tools does support learning.
