Classroom Refill and Restock of Supplies!

I need to refill my classroom supplies and get the classroom stocked back up after our time away from school during the coronavirus quarantine. I have planned and am excited to teach new lessons!

My Students

My students are those that live in low-income, high-need areas. Most students are on state assistance and so families are not able to contribute or provide the classroom support that is needed to make holidays and special occasions something to be celebrated in class. I try and provide fun rewards and special pencils, stickers, treats, pizza parties, and more to make these children feel part of a family inside of the classroom. Unfortunately I cannot afford these types of external rewards for all of my students and it can become costly, any donation to keeping the magic alive and supporting this cause would be greatly appreciated.

My Project

Your donations will allow our classroom to acquire supplies that will support us in providing students with all that they need to prosper and grow as students. In order to continue to run a classroom that rewards hard work, throws pizza parties for those that meet their goals, as well as makes room for future learning activities and exciting lessons that will be able to take place outdoors once the weather starts to warm up, I will need your help. Thank you for your support to enable me to continue to provide this type of learning, it really is the small stuff that makes all the difference and helps keep the magic of learning alive!
