Classroom Necessities

Help me give my students their own notebooks for Math and Social Studies! I would also like to decorate the classroom with encouraging and motivating words using bulletin board letters and other necessities!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Willis's classroom raised $264

My Project

I would like to use bulletin board letters to post motivating words around the classroom. I also like to utilize construction paper when displaying student work on bulletin boards. These basic necessities will light up our classroom!

My students power through pencils during the year, so I must provide them with back up.

I also have a pencil sharpening station in our classroom, so I would love to replenish our broken ones. I am excited to help my students out by providing them with basic classroom necessities.

Our classroom can get quite hot at times. The heat makes it difficult for my students to focus. A fan will be helpful.
