Help My Students Have a Great Start This School Year!

Help me give my students a good start to the school year. I would like my classroom to be inviting to the diverse population of students. I would like the carpet for reading time.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hampton's classroom raised $726

My Project

Having a carpet will make our classroom look bright and inviting. I will bring all the students to the carpet to read and have community meetings. My students are special because they are very diverse. They come from all around the world. Many of my students can't afford basic materials, so I would like to provide them with classroom essentials so they can get off to the right start. I want them to be able to use the wipes to clean their desk and the dry erase boards to use for working problems. I want them to start off with pencils and privacy folders so they can be organized and be prepared on day one. Please consider helping my awesome students have a great start with a bright, clean, and welcoming environment.
