Best Third Grade Year

Please help me provide my students with the necessary resources to have a successful school year, including floor cushions, a dry-erase board, chair pockets, and basic supplies.

My Project

I’ve created a classroom project filled with supplies and tools that would help create a more enriching and supportive learning environment.

I’m hoping you might consider supporting us by donating to help us fund these items, such as floor cushions, markers, glue, toys, notebooks, and more.

I added art supplies since our school does not offer an art class. I have also requested flexible seating to make my students more comfortable and other classroom supplies that will enhance learning this year. Thank you for all of your support throughout the journey.
