Building a Creative and Engaging Classroom: Essential Supplies for Success

Help me give my students essential classroom supplies to enhance their learning experience,

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Amdahl's classroom raised $436

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In our classroom, we believe in hands-on, interactive learning. My students thrive when they can touch, create, and engage with their lessons. To make this possible, we need some essential supplies to help them succeed.

Laminating Sheets will protect learning materials so we can reuse them, such as flashcards, anchor charts, and center activities.

A High-Quality Pencil Sharpener and pencils will ensure every student is ready to write, draw, and work on daily assignments. A Paper Cutter will help me preparing materials quickly, so I can focus more on teaching and less on prep time.

These tools will be used daily in our classroom to enhance lessons, organize materials, and foster a love of learning

By donating to our project, you will help create a more engaging and organized learning environment for my students. Your support will allow me to spend less time preparing materials and more time teaching, inspiring, and connecting with my students. These simple supplies will have a big impact on our classroom, giving my students the tools they need to succeed academically and creatively.

Thank you for considering this project. Together, we can help my students build a bright future!
