Kivi's Classroom Essentials

Help me give my students classroom essentials. These are items that I have previously bought with my own money to ensure that my kids can be productive and comfortable while in my class.

My Project

Students can only learn once they have what they need to be, and feel, ready to learn. I have seen that many students are consistently present in school; however, they aren't able to give their best efforts due to external conditions: oftentimes a lack of necessary resources. I have been buying students items with my own money but I am turning to DonorsChoose to help give my kids what they need to perform their best while at school.

While a pencil, granola bar, or box of tissues may seem small, it sometimes is the only thing standing between my students and them getting their work done.
