Help me give my students basic classroom supplies to help in math and science

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Johns's classroom raised $304

My Project

As we continue into the second half of the school year, it is time to replenish students' basic supplies and upgrade a few things. As students return to the classroom, I want them to have new supplies they are proud to use, like whiteboards that aren't older than them.

I am requesting basic school supplies so all of my students will have what they need to prosper in third grade.

The basic school supplies that I am requesting are dry-erase markers, scissors, rulers, a clock, and a couple more items that I feel are essential to our classroom's success. The project also includes supplies to organize us in the new year. My students LOVE math, and I want to be able to give them brand-new rulers and a clock as we move into our units on time and measurement. They are a truly magnificent group that tries their best, so that's what I hope to give them with your donation.
