Ms. Clevenger from Norfolk VA is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

It's the Small Things!

My students need new folders for organizing their work, new homework notebooks, tissues and wipes for sanitary purposes, and a filing cabinet.

My Students

My students are future scientists, artists, basketball players, doctors, engineers, and much more and they just need a few basic supplies to get them there!

I teach at a Title I school where all of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.

I currently teach a first grade classroom consisting of nine male students and six female students. My students are eager and excited to learn new things. They also tend to run a little expensive.

My Project

The materials I am requesting are often over-looked because they are such small items. These items include tissues, disinfecting wipes, paper clips, new folders, new notebooks, new storage bags, and small items that are used on a daily basis. I am requesting a filing cabinet in order to teach my students how to file and organize files alphabetically. One of the first grade Standards of Learning in Virginia is to alphabetize words and I want them to see how this applies in the real world. The laminating paper is used for me to make the literacy and math centers I create more durable.

These small items such as tissues, wipes, paper clips, folders, notebooks, sandwich bags, etc.

will make a world of a difference in our classroom right now. They are small and basic items but are so important in the classroom and used on a daily basis. The filing cabinet will help the students apply their knowledge of alphabetizing words in a real-life scenario.
