Building Better Homework Habits

Help me give my students the essential take-home materials they need to stay organized and complete homework successfully, including folders and pencil pouches.

My Project

My kindergarten students are just beginning their educational journey, and having the right supplies at home can make a meaningful difference in their confidence and success. This project will provide each student with a take-home homework folder, a pencil pouch that fits inside the folder, crayons, and glue sticks so they have the basic tools needed to complete assignments and practice important skills outside the classroom.

These supplies will help students stay organized, take pride in their work, and strengthen the connection between home and school.

Parents will have everything they need to support learning at home without worrying about whether basic materials are available.

By providing every child with these essential take-home supplies, you are helping create opportunities for learning, encouraging responsibility, and giving my students the resources they need to build strong academic habits from the very beginning.

Thank you for helping my kindergarten students continue learning long after the school day ends!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
