Just the Basics

My students need basic classroom supplies, such as markers and colored pencils, to use during hands-on activities, as well as whiteboard supplies and a laminator to preserve their work!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. F.'s classroom raised $285

My Students

My students are learning the value of being productive, effective members of our community. They want to do more than just learn concepts taught in class. They want to apply what they are learning to help discover and solve problems that exist in their city.

They are bright and motivated and learn best when they are performing activities and experiments that are applicable to their lives.

My students are filled with wonder and are encouraged to question everything. Those kids need to be actively learning, respectfully debating, and collecting research and data to help prove or disprove ideas that they have.

My Project

High-quality dry erase board markers and accessories ensure students, even those who are visually impaired, can see what the teacher writes on the board. These are basic materials that are unavailable due to a limited school budget--but my students need them to succeed. Students love creating posters that serve as the anchor charts in my classroom because the information is shared in their own unique ways with their own voices. They truly "leave their mark" on the class each day!

A variety of art-related supplies provides all students with quality materials as they learn science through visual aids, such as coloring sheets and posters they create, ultimately benefitting all students with different learning styles.
