Expository Writing, Not on a Cell Phone

Help me give my students color organization for class activities, laminator for signs, extra iPad so students do not have to work on iPhone during class time

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rajan's classroom raised $1,064

My Project

My students are eager to learn! However, many hold jobs out of school and are tired in class. They often forget to bring their device to school. I am hoping to have an extra iPad to hand out to students so they can at least work with a bigger screen space than their cellphone, or nothing at all. The color coding helps with classroom organization, and the laminator is so I can make classroom signs! I am a new teacher who was hired in the middle of the quarter and have very little supplies.
