My Project

My students are energetic, creative learners who thrive when they have the right tools to express themselves and engage in hands-on activities. Our classroom is a place where imagination meets education, but we’re running low on some essential supplies that help keep our daily learning fun and effective.

We need glue sticks, dry erase markers, scissors, page protectors, and erasers to continue working on interactive notebooks, creative writing activities, group projects, and independent learning centers.

These materials help make our learning visual, engaging, and organized.

With your help, I’ll be able to stock our classroom with:

Glue sticks to make interactive notebooks and creative projects stick (literally!).

Dry erase markers for our whiteboard centers and student boards—encouraging collaboration and quick feedback.

Scissors are used to promote fine motor skills and creativity in cutting and assembling.

Page protectors to turn ordinary printouts into reusable learning tools.

Felt-tip markers to add color and flair to anchor charts, posters, and student work displays.

These supplies will help us build an environment where students feel equipped and empowered to learn each day.

Every dollar you give brings us closer to a classroom full of the tools we need to grow and succeed. Thank you for supporting our journey!
