Essential Supplies to Start a New Year!

Help me give my students school supplies to start our year off the right way. We need posters of inspirational women, pencils, and dry erase circles for our small group table.

My Project

My students are eager students. They want to grasp the concepts that we tackle in class. However, tackling concepts without sufficient supplies is a real challenge. We need wall pops for our math small groups. We would love to have some exciting positive reinforcements with the smencils (they're really cool!) and LEGO figurines and glow-in-the-dark bracelets. An elementary classroom is always in need of pencils. Lots of pencils. We also will benefit from encouraging postcards and posters about strong role models to put around our room. And I'm so excited about our new miniature art gallery, using the tiny gilded picture frames.

My students are the engineers, pilots, dentists, poets, and architects of the future.

They need to understand the concepts and facts that we cover in our classroom. These supplies are just the ticket. Thank you for considering this project.
