Classroom Necessities!

Help me give my students materials for our classroom environment and tools necessary for learning

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Maya Johnson's classroom raised $403

My Project

Hello! I am a first-year teacher who is still trying to furnish my classroom with some things that I feel would be helpful to my scholars' learning.

I have some students who didn't bring in supplies such as notebooks and pencils - so these would be helpful.

Their handwriting is a priority in first grade, so these notebooks are a great asset in our classroom when practicing writing skills.

I have included some books that are on the reading level of the scholars in my classroom and books I think my scholars will enjoy this month.

Also, I provide snacks daily for any students who do not bring them to school. The students get hungry very frequently so we have snack time twice a day. The snacks in my classroom go very quickly so please feel free to choose those items.

Thank you in advance if you choose to help out!
