Classroom Essentials

Help me give my students essentials for our classroom so that they will succeed

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Welch's classroom raised $949

This project is fully funded

My Project

I will use these resources in my classroom to help my students to do their best, and use all that is available to them so that they can be successful.

Students need as many resources as we can give them.

Students get sick so easily. School age kids average 5-6 colds per year. I included hand sanitizer, Kleenex, and sanitary wipes to help keep the classroom clean and to minimize how often my students get sick. When students are sick, they miss out on instruction.

Rewarding students helps to establish a positive learning atmosphere. I included the treasure chest and the small toys to provide students with a chance to get a reward. It will help to foster good learning and behavioral habits.

I will use the trays for the students to put their supplies in on their desks. The chair will be used for the students who have done well for the day. I will choose a student a day to get a chance to sit in the comfortable chair. The laptop will be used to help kids with their day to day activities.

It is important for kids to be supplied with any resources that can help them be successful. My students come from low income households and I want to help them get resources that are not readily available for them. I am asking for your help and I thank you in advance.
