My Project

In my classroom, having access to the right supplies can transform a student’s learning experience. I’m requesting laminating pouches, crayons, markers, colored pencils, glue sticks, pencils, bulletin board borders, and stickers to help build an engaging, organized, and inspiring environment where all students can thrive.

In my classroom, basic supplies make a big difference in how students learn, create, and feel about school.

Crayons, markers, colored pencils, and glue sticks allow students to engage with lessons creatively and hands-on, which boosts their understanding and makes learning more enjoyable. Whether illustrating a story or working on a group project, these tools make academic content more accessible and memorable.

Pencils are a daily necessity, and keeping enough on hand ensures that every student is always prepared to participate. Laminating pouches help preserve key materials like charts, flashcards, and classroom visuals so they can be reused and stay in good condition. Bulletin board borders help me create a warm and welcoming space that showcases student work with pride. Lastly, stickers are simple but powerful tools for encouragement, celebrating progress and building confidence.

Your support will directly impact my students' daily learning and creativity. Thank you!
