Classroom Refresh and Restart!

Help me give my students a fresh classroom for the new school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Adams's classroom raised $331

My Project

It is the end of this school year and I have noticed my classroom will definitely need some replenishing and refreshing!

This past year I have run out of items, items have broken, or I have realized there are somethings I will need next year!

In this project you will find supplies that have run out that I need to replenish: pencils, stick it notes, expo markers, pens, disinfectant spray etc. These supplies help my lessons run a lot smoother because students have access to the classroom materials necessary for success like the pencils, pens, etc. Plus the cleaning supplies help to keep my space germ free to encourage strong attendance and immune systems from all my students!

Also, you will find some supplies that broke throughout the year: string lights, wall clock, our class coat rack. These materials help to create a more welcoming environment for my classroom. Having a coat rack allows students to feel at home in my classroom and save time between classes if they need it. Furthermore, a wall clock is essential so students don't rely on devices to tell the time.

And lastly, you will find some items that I believe will make my classroom better next year: command strips, hanging plants, and a cork board for reminders! Similarly, these items help to create a well structured and inviting classroom. I can hang reminders, agendas, anchor charts to encouraged more strategic learning. But, also create a home-y environment with my plants!

All of these supplies will allow my classroom to run just as smoothly if not better than this past school year!
