Help Stock My Classroom with the Basics!

Help me give my students a great start to high school in a Title 1 school! I'm just returning to teaching after 7 years in corporate, so my supplies are also depleted.

Ms. LaShell West Mecklenburg High School
Charlotte, NC Grades 9-12

My Project

Some of my students won't be able to afford basic supplies, like notebooks and folders. Some of the other classroom supplies will help us make group learning projects fun and memorable, like the flipchart paper for anchor charts and the giant Post-It Erase Adhesive Dry Erase Whiteboard, which I learned about during summer professional development classes. The colored highlighters will help students learn how to annotate, which helps with critical thinking skills. Newer styles of learning utilize lots and lots of post-it notes, and my classroom is missing basics like whiteboard erasers and sharpies. Thank you!!
