Fresh New Start Classroom Environment

Help me give my students clean classroom materials, to help them feel welcomed.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sinocruz's classroom raised $630

This project is fully funded

My Project

I want to make my students feel welcomed and respected. My students have been using scratched up whiteboards for daily ELA and math learning (as well as clipboard purpose), ziploc bags that tear for bookbags, paper folders that rip as they keep papers inside, battery operated pencil sharpeners that break down, and not enough amount of cubes to share for whole class math activities. School lamination (if the machine is working), is not sturdy enough for student created bookmarks or individual learning reference tools (i.e number grid).

Students will experience organized/clean classroom atmosphere/resources to focus on their successful learning year.

I have purchased some of the basic materials like pencils, whiteboard erasers, markers, crayons, etc. Please help me in providing quality materials to welcome my students this year after COVID.
