Important General Supplies for First Grade Students

Help me give my students newsprint paper, glue sticks, pencils, pencil sharpeners, and copy paper.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Schmidt's classroom raised $510

My Project

My first graders go through a tremendous amount of supplies during the school week. The general supplies I am looking for are important to have in the classroom so we can successfully do our work. I plan on using all these supplies on a daily basis when working in reading, math, writing, science and social studies.

It is imperative that my students have the resources they need to be successful in school.

Having these supplies in the classroom will help me ensure students have the supplies they need to be able to do their own work. I hope you can put a smile on the faces of my students and send us these much needed supplies!
