New Classroom, New Supplies!

Help me give my students the tools and atmosphere they need to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.

My Project

To create an engaging, organized, and student-centered learning environment, my classroom is in need of several essential supplies. A bulletin board and decorative bulletin board borders will allow me to display student work, learning goals, and anchor charts in a visually appealing and meaningful way that promotes ownership and pride. Basic supplies like crayons, markers, paper, pencils, and erasers are fundamental tools that every student needs for daily learning activities and creative expression. Flexible seating options—including a carpet and bean bag chairs—will provide students with comfortable spaces to read, collaborate, and reflect, supporting their focus and social-emotional well-being. Plastic sign holders will clearly communicate daily tasks and centers, fostering student independence and clarity. File folders will help students keep their work organized and accessible, while table name plates will help build classroom community and reinforce routines. Altogether, these materials will create a warm, inviting space that supports both academic growth and emotional development.
