Ms. M. Bates' ELA Second Grade Scholars Need You!

Help me give my students essentials items for me to teach my wonderful second grade scholars this school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bates's classroom raised $792

This project is fully funded

My Project

The items I selected will make a differences in my students' learning in various ways. The goal for my items are keeping my classroom as germ free as possible. I added various cleaning supplies to my cart because last school year, a lot of my scholars missed lessons due to the common cold, sinus infections, etc. With my project, my students will come into a classroom that is disinfected daily. My students won't have to worry about headaches, bubbly stomachs, or itchy throats; instead, my scholars can participate in lessons and play with their friends. Most importantly, they can be present at school so they can learn daily and be promoted to the next grade level!
