As we begin a new school year, I want to ensure my students are set up for success from day one.
One way to do that is by providing them with the essential classroom supplies they need to thrive in their learning environment.
This year, I will be departmentalizing and teaching Reading and Social Studies to all third-grade students. With so many young learners rotating through my classroom, having the right supplies on hand is crucial for keeping things organized, efficient, and focused on learning.
Our classroom is currently in need of the following items:
An electric pencil sharpener – to keep students writing and minimize disruptions.
Pencils – a basic necessity that helps every student participate fully.
Large mesh zipper bags – to keep materials neat, organized, and easy to transport between classes.
Having these supplies readily available will help my students stay organized, feel prepared, and focus on what matters most—learning and growing. Your support can make a real difference in helping them reach their full potential this school year!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
