I Can Be Awesome With the Basics!

Help me give my students the basics to produce the awesome work they are capable of!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Chacon's classroom raised $494

My Students

We have Asian, Hispanic, African American, and Caucasian students, which makes us very diverse. Some of our students have language barriers that they are trying to overcome, while still learning educational material. They are very caring and motivated learners. Lots of them are from low income families.

My Project

These markers, crayons, colored pencils, and notebooks will give my students a big advantage in creating their awesome work. Lots of my students are low income so they can't afford basic school supplies to get their work accomplished. Classroom supplies will greatly help the students in their work.

I believe students should not have to worry about having basic supplies to complete their work, and with this worry being taken care of they can happily work with their classmates on projects.

I will be teaching technology/STEAM which has lots of hands-on creating. These materials will be a great help.
