Kick off to a Great Year

Help me give my students a great start to the school with testing dividers, dry erase markers, and fun pencils.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Davies's classroom raised $353

My Project

I want my students to have the necessary items in order to be successful this school year and to make it a fun year. In order to give my students a personal space to do their best work, I have included the desk dividers. Having my own set will allow students have access to their dividers any time they may need them.

Many of our students do not come to school with the necessary items to have a great year; therefore, I included the dry erase markers which we use many times throughout the day.

Additionally, I have included Clorox wipes which is an item that students are to bring in, but many students are unable to afford them.

Additionally, I added several items on the list to create a fun, learning environment for my students. Students learn math games to build math fluency through card games. Also, each student will receive a can of play dough that they can utilize to decompress or just for fun throughout the year. Last but not least, students love fun pencils. I can't wait to give these pencils to the students to start the year.
