Fourth Grade Friends!

Help me give my students supplies for back to school! My students need the supplies in my project for back to school and these are supplies that often run out during the school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Doffek's classroom raised $701

This project is fully funded

My Project

All of the supplies in my project are essential for meeting classroom needs. Supplies such as glue, pencils, and markers tend to run out quickly so it’s nice to have a supply that will last. The whiteboards are great for whole group learning and the standing whiteboard will help me with instruction at the carpet. Headphones are great because it’s helpful to have a durable pair that is good quality and will last for the entire school year and hopefully for subsequent school years. Having a nice supply of classroom essentials makes it so much easier.
