Ms. Carlton from Durham NC is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Chaos-Free Start!

Help me give my students a well-prepared teacher for the 2022-2023 school year!

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

This project will provide my students with a teacher who is fully prepared for the upcoming school year! If a teacher isn't on their game, then students likely won't be either!

With all of the chaos that comes with a new school year, the last thing this teacher needs is missing supplies!

All of the materials I am requesting will help me replenish my teaching materials, and a few new ones to my arsenal. The border, letters, accents, posters, hot glue gun, and hot glue sticks will be used to revamp bulletin boards for the upcoming year. The expo markers, flair pens, wite-out, and inkjoy pens will aid in replenishing writing supplies. The clipboards, post-its, staplers, staples, paperclips, binder clips, and push pins will aid in replenishing organizational supplies. The teacher notepads will give me an easy day-to-day planning solution, while the easel whiteboard will serve as a day-to-day agenda for our class. And last, but definitely not least... The storage organizer will serve as a teacher toolbox to keep the chaos of my various teacher supplies at bay!
