Essentials For Class Success!

Help me give my students the classroom materials to aide in their success! We need markers, colored pencils, crayons, stickers, and laminating pouches.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. GIPSON's classroom raised $346

This project is fully funded

My Project

The materials & supplies (markers, crayons, encouragement stickers, etc.) will be used by the students for writing stations, journaling, creating books, & during free choice throughout the school year.

The donations to this project will help our students' creation of authentic, meaningful, enjoyable writing.

By implementing daily writing activities to foster a love for writing our students will begin to see themselves as true authors, illustrators & book makers. We will use these materials to aide in the process of becoming life-long writers. I truly need your support to make this a reality. Thanks!
