Mrs. Shepherd's Basic Classroom Supplies

Help me give my students the materials they need to excel in my classroom. Having a reliable pencil sharpener, plenty of pencils, paper, pens, staples, kleenex, and paper towels all contribute to a positive and successful learning environment.

My Project

Ensuring my students basic needs are met while they are in our classroom is my number one goal. Since we are well into the school year, I have noticed that some of our basic supplies are dwindling.

I have requested a variety of basic supplies including pencils, pens, paper, markers, a pencil sharpener, a stapler, staples, kleenex, and paper towels.

While these are basic supplies, they are all items that our class needs.

When supplies run low, I know it's time to restock to avoid any potential stress on my students. I never want my students to worry about simple issues like not having a pencil or kleenex. The pencil sharpener requested will replace a current sharpener that is nearly broken.

All in all, these supplies will make my amazing students lives just a little bit easier and will enhance our classroom experience.
