My Project

In our first-grade classroom, we utilize a variety of supplies. With a limited classroom budget, many of these materials are typically bought with my own money. Donors Choose allows me to provide my students with what they need without using my own funds or asking families to provide more than they already do.

These supplies will help my students be successful learners in a first-grade classroom.

Things like baggies and paper goods will be used for classroom snack time. The construction paper, wipes, erasers, colored pencils and markers are supplies that help my students do projects, practice phonics, and clean the classroom. The binders and sheet protectors will be used by students to organize their work. The socks will be a fun incentive and will be used during independent reading celebrations. Sentence strips will be used during morning practice time.

All these resources are necessities that will allow my students to be their best learners.
