Help Fill Our Treasure Box!

Help me give my students more prizes for our prize box, scissors, and dry erase markers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Meyers's classroom raised $297

My Project

As we are heading towards the end of the year, my students have been doing a great job at earning more points for our treasure chest. So my treasure chest is starting to look empty. We need more prizes to fill up our treasure chest. I tried to ask for prizes that my students really interested in.

We also recently discovered that we do not have enough scissors for our whole class to use at the same time.

I am not quite sure what happened to all of my scissors but we do a lot of art projects so we need everyone to have a pair of scissors to be able to work at the same time. I am also asking for dry erase markers. We go through dry erase markers at an incredible speed. We use them on a daily basis for math work and Fundations (which is our phonics program). Having students use the dry erase markers allows me to quickly assess students and make small groups.
