Let's Start 2025 - 2026 Off Strong!

Help me give my students a strong start to the year with headphones, bins, and other supplies and organizational materials

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Chamberlain's classroom raised $732

This project is fully funded

My Project

This school year has flown by and it's time to start thinking about next year's group of third graders. I'd like to start planning for the supplies we need now so that we can start the next school year off strong.

One addition that I would like to make to my classroom this year is providing the kids with math journals to record their thinking and understanding of math concepts.

I would also like to start the year off with a supply of snacks! It's hard to learn when you are hungry. We also can use new headphones, as well as some general classroom supplies such as composition book, erasers and organizational materials like book bins and a file cart.
