Ms. Holmes from Richmond, VA is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Ms. Holmes's Class

Help me give my students these items because I do work in a district where the students are not able to have what they need for daily use in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Holmes's classroom raised $594

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are eager to learn but unfortunately, they do not have the full support to be able to thrive. They go through dramatic events both at home and school but they are special in their own way.

One of the main reasons I am doing a donors choose list is so that I can give my students tools to be able to participate in classroom activities without feeling like they are without.

My Project

These materials will help the parents as well as students so that those who may not be able to obtain these items can and their child can excel and have what is needed to enhance their learning.

I chose these materials because they are needed for daily use and since students will be remote learning to start, these items will make a difference.

As a second year teacher, I saw how much was needed by me because there were several students who did not have the materials that were needed. I want to make sure that they have what they need so they won't feel left out or feel like they can't do the work because of lack of materials.
