Help Supply Our Classroom Success

Help me give my students the supplies they need to be successful kindergarten students!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Spells's classroom raised $957

This project is fully funded

My Project

My kindergarten scholars are learning and growing and need to have some key essentials to help their learning grow and soar! My students are working hard on their assignments independently and having new supplies will help their growth continue this year.

My scholars are ready to soar and these materials will help their learning continue to grow.

My scholars are working hard utilizing their iPads in our classroom but are having struggles to focus and complete their work independently without the use of headphones. These headphones mean that my students will be able to grow as kindergarten students. The materials in this request will help my scholars to grow and keep their stomachs full.
