My Project
In our classroom, creativity and organization go hand in hand to support student success. To help foster a vibrant and engaging learning environment, we are requesting markers, crayons, dry erase erasers, and acrylic shelves. These materials will allow students to express their ideas through art, participate actively in lessons using whiteboards, and help keep our supplies neatly organized and accessible. Whether it’s illustrating a story, solving math problems, or collaborating on group projects, these tools will support hands-on learning and creativity every day.
The acrylic shelves will provide much-needed storage space, making it easier for students to take responsibility for their materials and maintain a tidy classroom.
With colorful crayons and markers, students can bring their imaginations to life while developing fine motor skills and artistic expression. The dry erase erasers will allow for quick corrections and interactive board work, encouraging participation and confidence. Your support will make a lasting impact on our classroom, giving students the resources they need to learn, create, and grow.
