Just the Basics

Help me give my students a classroom rug so that we can have a spot where we meet for whole-group instruction.

My Project

My goal for these items are to create an environment where my kids feel excited about learning as well as safe and included. The rug will be used as a meeting spot for when we want to get involved in our learning. The supplies such as the pencils, markers, whiteboards, and glue sticks will be used to enrich and enhance our learning while being creative. The books were included so that my students could develop a love for reading while learning at the same time. It’s hard to focus on an empty stomach, so I included a few snacks on the list as well.

I don’t know my kids yet since this will be for the next school year, but I’m looking forward to meeting and building a relationship with my prospective students.

They will benefit from these materials, as they will provide them with the basic necessities for the classroom. You can help give them the tools they need to be successful in their education and future lives.
