Creative Supplies

My students need classroom supplies such as chart paper, card stock, neon paper and craft supplies to start the beginning of the year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Covington's classroom raised $300

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach Language Arts to three classrooms of third graders. The students come from lots of different cultures, family, structures and economic situations. They are enthusiastic learners and each one brings something unique to the situation. My students don't always have the means to have access to these types of materials, so I would like to ask your help. I want to give my students lots of choices and opportunities that they may not always get and enrich their live.

My Project

I am asking for chart paper to use for my morning messages each day. I also use the paper while teaching my reading lessons to create ideas, write down students contributions and for lessons. I am asking for the arts and craft supplies to use on Friday afternoons for what we call "Friday Fun". Students are given access to these supplies as a reward for having a great week working hard and following the school rules. My classrooms in the past have really enjoyed using these types of supplies. I am not always able to afford them on my own.
