From Crayons to Calculations: Tools to Ignite Young Minds!

Help me give my students the tools they need to learn, create, and thrive—like colored pencils for vibrant projects, glue sticks for hands-on activities, and large foam dice to make math fun and interactive!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Toomey's classroom raised $583

My Project

My students are full of curiosity, creativity, and a deep desire to learn. Every day, they come into the classroom ready to explore new ideas and tackle challenges with enthusiasm. I want to give them the tools to turn that energy into meaningful learning experiences—tools that make lessons come alive and empower every student to engage in hands-on, joyful education.

With your support, I’m asking for essential classroom supplies that will help my students thrive.

The TPT resources will allow me to provide differentiated materials that target specific learning goals—whether it's a math game, a literacy escape room, or a project-based assignment—while the supplies will make those lessons hands-on and interactive. Together, these materials will help me create a vibrant, student-centered classroom where all learners feel motivated and supported.

Thank you for investing in my students’ success. Your kindness helps turn our classroom into a place where learning is colorful, collaborative, and fun! Your donation will help us stock up on the basics that make a big difference.
