My Project

I need help adding to my classroom supplies to best help my students and would greatly appreciate your help. I taught 5th grade last year and teach 1st this year so I am in need of more 1st grade level supplies, manipulatives, and storage to hold them and keep the classroom environment organized and welcoming.

Each supply could greatly help my students.

The headphones are used for in-class work and state-testing so those are very important. The English and Math manipulatives and whiteboard set would be great in engaging students and connecting their learning to hands-on activities. I plan to use the laminator to save activities that go well in class for future years. I plan to use the rolling storage cart to organize my copies and actives for the week. I plan to use the mobile bookshelf to organize my leveled reading group books to differentiate my teaching. It would mean a lot to me to have some help.

I moved states to teach so I could not bring much and then moved grade levels so I had to start almost fresh with supplies. My school is also a Title I school and the kids deserve so much. I want to give them the best that I can and truly believe that these supplies could help me do this. They are such good kids and deserve the world. Thank you so much for reading this and considering donating.
