My Project

We're gearing up for a strong finish to the 5th grade school year, but we need your help! Our classroom supplies are running low, and a refresh is essential to ensure our students have everything they need to succeed. I'm also excited to request a new carpet for our reading center, featuring an interactive map of the 50 US States, to create a more engaging learning environment.

Having an ample supply of materials on hand ensures that students can focus on their work without interruptions.

Pencils, erasers, tape, and glue are daily essentials for writing, drawing, and creating projects. Construction paper and colored pencils are crucial for art projects and creative assignments, allowing students to express themselves and explore their creativity. Binder paper and Avery labels help students stay organized, develop planning skills, and manage their time effectively. Whiteboard markers and sharpies are essential for our classroom's interactive and collaborative learning environment. The new carpet for the reading center with an interactive map of the 50 US States will not only create a visually stimulating environment but also serve as an educational tool, helping students learn about geography in a fun and engaging way.

My goal is to provide my students with the necessary materials to finish the school year strong academically and creatively. By having access to these supplies, students can continue to learn, explore, and grow in a supportive and well-equipped classroom environment. Our students are incredibly creative, curious, and eager to learn. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring a variety of experiences to the classroom, enriching our learning community. Despite facing various challenges, they show resilience and determination in their academic pursuits, making them truly special and deserving of the best educational resources possible. Your support would mean the world to us!
