Day One: We're Ready

Help me give my students the materials that are essential for us to begin class on day one of the new school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Robinson's classroom raised $1,036

My Project

My students are simply amazing. They enjoy coming to school and get a thrill out of partaking in small group activities while cheering each other on throughout the process.

The copy paper and laminator will be used to ensure that the small group activities are printed and laminated to ensure that materials survive the activity and can be used for more activities throughout the school year.

The pencil sharpener, writing utensils, and coloring utensils will be used to ensure that the students are able to complete and submit the required accountability piece that accompanies each activity that they complete. The manipulatives will be used to assist with helping the students to grasps the math concepts accompanying the skill at hand each day.

My goal for this project is to ensure that day one of the 2025 school year is a success. It is my desire that my students are able to walk into their first day of class with absolutely nothing and have a successful, learning filled day to set the tone for the remainder of the school year.
