Classroom Supplies for Reading and Writing

Help me give my students basic materials! We are completely out of paper and desperately need a printer and these supplies. These materials will support us in our goal of learning to read and write this year!

My Students

My students are curious, adventurous, and silly 5 and 6 year olds who love to play and learn. They love each other and they love helping each other grow each day. Their curiosity and imaginations never fail to put a smile on my face.

My students are kind and compassionate friends.

They help each other, guide one another, and share their strengths with each other in and outside of the classroom. My students learn about the world through asking questions and seeking to create their own answers. They love to have dance parties, class celebrations, and learn together.

My Project

In order to learn to read and write, we need paper and lamination supplies. On paper, dry erase, and laminated materials, students practice foundational reading and writing skills. Without these materials, it is practically impossible to keep students engaged and motivated to learn to read and write. Our school's paper deficit is especially difficult for kindergarteners who typically need several tries before mastering a skill, and who love to use paper to create art and express ideas.

I am so excited to be able to give my students the paper, dry erase, and laminating materials they need to become readers and writers this year!
