My Project

I'm requesting classroom materials that will help keep my students engaged, organized, and learning efficiently every day. These items—calculators, a pencil holder, laminating pouches, and cardstock—may seem simple, but together they’ll make a huge impact on how smoothly our classroom runs and how well students can focus on their learning.

Many of my third graders are building confidence in math and are beginning to explore more complex problem-solving.

Calculators will allow them to check their work, practice number operations, and explore patterns—especially helpful for students who need extra support or accommodations.

Our classroom is a busy place, and supplies can easily become misplaced. A sturdy, central pencil holder will help students stay organized, take responsibility for their materials, and reduce wasted time searching for supplies. We also use reusable learning tools—like center games, flashcards, and visual reminders—daily. Laminating these items makes them durable for multiple uses and accessible for students who need frequent review or hands-on materials. Cardstock will allow us to print colorful, sturdy resources like bookmarks, student name tags, learning games, goal trackers, and certificates to celebrate student progress.

Lastly, the Stix Washable Markers are perfect for hands-on learning and art activities. They’re easy to clean, which makes them ideal for students of all needs and abilities. Scented Markers make writing and creating extra fun! For students who sometimes struggle to stay focused or motivated, a little sensory incentive goes a long way. These markers make activities like poster-making, goal setting, and creative writing exciting and engaging.

Every item in this project supports both academic learning and classroom management, helping students feel prepared, capable, and proud of their workspace.
