Kick Start the School Year!

Help me give my students the resources we need (Play-Doh, easel pads, folders, etc.) to kick start the school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Basch's classroom raised $559

My Project

To start of the school year, I am asking for different resources to help make my classroom successful. I need good, durable take-home folders and name badges for my students. I also have run out of anchor chart paper that I will be using daily in the beginning of the school year with the stories we read, learning about emotions and good behavior.

The sheet protectors, laminating sheets, and dry erase markers are always used in the beginning for name writing and beginning centers.

And the watercolors are used for self portraits and small learning groups as well!

I love making my classroom a fun and inviting learning environment for my students! This is also why I am requesting some new organization baskets for my writing table. My writing table is one of my students favorite centers. In the beginning, playdough will be used on alphabet mats to help form letters and smelly markers are used to write their name and different letters in the alphabet.

I would really appreciate you considering donating to my project and my students. These resources will be put to good use and my students will be so excited to use them. Thank you!!
