Help me give my students the materials they need to have a successful school year!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ruder's classroom raised $796
This project is fully funded
My Project
I look forward to another year in kindergarten with my amazing and diverse students! Many of the items I have requested are STEM building materials- like the Magnatiles. These will support our new language arts curriculum which allows time for play and social development.
I have also requested basic materials like glue sticks, crayons, and folders.
In addition to the supplies, I have added a variety of age appropriate read alouds. Kids love to listen to stories and they are always engaged when they get to hear new books! Many of the titles I have requested are about being kind or about how our classroom is a family.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
