Jump Starting the Year!!!

Help me give my students the opportunity to get a head start for the new school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Johnson's classroom raised $699

My Project

Hello Donors! As the new school year approaches, I am looking to provide my students with the opportunity to be set for learning. I am looking for support from our generous donors to provide much needed supplies to help enhance and direct instruction. My wish list includes sticky notes and highlighters to assist with monitoring and engaging learning. I am asking for assistance with needed supplies such as Crayola color pencils and pens for days where students just may forget or may not have their own to use.

Often times our children go through so much at home, I don't want the lack of supplies to be added to that list.

That is why I am asking for items such as pencil/supply pouches to ensure all student are ready and prepared for the day. As we advance technology has become more evident within our classrooms. With an online curriculum often times students will need to listen to audio for learning. That is why I am asking for earbuds for listening and pouches to help students keep up with them. Thank you again for all that you do!
