Classroom Essentials

Help me give my students the ability to complete their projects at home and school.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pollesch's classroom raised $283

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are creative and resourceful. We will use the paper to complete classroom projects. These resources can enhance their learning experience and help them develop new skills.

My goal is to have the students be able to have the essential materials needed to complete classroom projects.

Students work in groups to complete projects where they need to collaborate and be able to share materials. This is essential for the students as they learn skills that will help them further in life.

Students enjoy working on classroom projects and these materials will significantly help them be successful.
