Getting Personal in First Grade

Help me give my students hat/glove sets, snacks, band-aids and ice packs to meet their personal daily needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pone's classroom raised $260

My Project

Every student in my school gets free breakfast and lunch daily. It is hard for many of my families to provide a daily snack for their child. This project will allow me to give a daily snack to my students. If they get hurt, I can take care of them with a cute ice pack or band-aid to help ease their pain. Many of my students are not holding their pencils correctly, so the gripper will allow they to build up their self esteem to write better.

My goal is to have each of my students feel confident in their learning and educational growth.

I do not want my students to have any more obstacles in their day while at school, so if I can keep them from being hungry by giving a small snack I will. I also do not want any of my students to get cold as the winter months approach. So I would like to have a hat and glove set ready to provide to each of my students. This will ensure they have something to wear while walking to school or waiting for the school bus. No one will be singled out because every student will get a set.
