Desperately Seeking Supplies!

Help me give my students various basic school supplies needed for our class to run smoothly.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pipkin's classroom raised $412

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My 1st graders are excited to come to school every day. I need some basic hands-on materials to keep learning exciting. I am requesting some hands-on learning puzzles. My students love to move and interact with their classmates. Learning puzzles are a great way for them to have fun while reinforcing the new skills they are learning.

I am also requesting various art supplies such as pastel crayons and heavy-duty construction paper.

My students love doing vibrant large-scale art. I enjoy doing seasonal art, as well as art related to the various subjects we are learning at school.
