Help me give my students everyday items to keep my classroom running such as Ziploc bags, index cards and colored paper.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Calef's classroom raised $168

My Project

I am the English Language teacher at our elementary school in Kihei. All of my students are special because they know how to speak more than one language!

Help support my classroom by providing everyday supplies!

We will use the ziploc bags to store supplies and the index cards to label items in English and in Spanish. The colorful paper will be used to communicate with my students families - letters written on colorful paper look more important than when they are printed on white paper! The magnets will be used to attach charts and pictures to the white board.
