Meeting Every Need

Help me give my students the classroom materials and necessities to help them learn and focus with a clean classroom, quality supplies, and full bellies.

My Project

Halfway through the year our stock of supplies becomes depleted. Our classroom is in need of the basic daily necessities that help our students continue to learn and grow.

Fourth grade has a very late lunch, and my students are typically needing some fuel by the end of the morning.

I have chosen quality snacks with a long shelf life that will provide my students with the sustenance to keep learning until lunch.

There are also hygienic classroom needs that must continue to be met. We wipe down our desks everyday and the soft packs of Lysol wipes have proven to be easiest for students to pass out quickly. I also like to have glasses wipes on hand, not only for my students who wear glasses, but also to safely clean our Chromebooks once a week.

Pencils and erasers are always necessities and lets face it, some pencils are just superior! Automatic pencils will help reduce the time it takes to sharpen 24 pencils each morning before class, as will the pre-sharpened box of pencils.

The label maker will help students identify their individual tools as well as help them locate supplies in the classroom.

My personal laminator is one of my favorite tools. It helps me to preserve materials to use again, as well as showcase student work without the worry that it will get damaged.

Please consider helping me restock these basic necessities so that I am able to provide a clean and student centered classroom environment!
