Books, and Markers, and Prizes... Oh My!

Help me give my students dry erase boards and markers for classwork, as well as some prizes for their rewards box, and a bunch of BOOKS for their science library!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. DiChiara's classroom raised $343

My Project

The final steps to starting this school year on the right track is to stock my new classroom library, fill up a prize box, and have some dry erase boards and markers for classwork. The are essential supplies for classroom success.

The dry erase boards are great for quick assessments of science learning, but they need to be replaced often and so do the markers.

Sixth graders also love prizes, so I'm filling a prize box with school supplies and fidgets. Finally, my science books "disappeared" last summer during summer school, and after spending the school year looking for them, I am just going to rebuild with some fact books.

Hopefully this gets funded before the school year starts!!
