Classroom Essentials

Help me give my students basic supplies and accommodations for their needs. Students need supplies in order to put their focus on the learning versus what they do or don’t hsve.

My Project

I want to make sure all my students do not need to worry about school supplies. I want students to feel represented and safe in their classroom! By donating basic school supplies such as headphones, playground materials, paper, and flexible seating options, students are able to feel safe in their classroom.

As a first year teacher, it is hard to come with a classroom full of supplies.

Please help me make sure my students have everything they need in order to succeed in school. Students' lives outside of school can be unstable, but it is my job as their teacher to not let them feel the same in our classroom!
