Classroom Supplies

Help me give my students a great year. My wishlist is filled with classroom essentials to help my students learn, grow, and feel supported every day. Every little bit truly makes a difference for my students and me.

My Project

Every item on my wishlist has a purpose in helping students feel prepared, focused, and confident. For example, individual supplies like notebooks and pencils help students stay organized and take ownership of their work. Crayons and markers spark creativity during writing and art projects. Basic necessities like tissues and sanitizing wipes keep our classroom clean and healthy, which means fewer sick days and more learning time. These supplies may seem small, but they make a huge difference in creating a positive, productive classroom.

What are your goals for this project?

My goal is to create a learning environment where every student feels supported, regardless of their background. I want each child to walk into our classroom and know they have everything they need to learn, create, and succeed. With your help, I can make sure that no student feels left out because they didn’t have the right materials.

What makes your students special?

My students are curious, kind, and eager to learn. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique perspectives, talents, and stories to our classroom. What makes them truly special is their resilience and how they show up each day ready to try, even when things are hard. They deserve every opportunity to succeed, and your support helps make that possible.
