Off on the Right Foot

Help me give my students the materials they need to begin our school year on the right foot!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Squire's classroom raised $563

My Students

In first grade, learning is doing. I work in a brand-new STEM school in Utah teaching 30 wiggly, enthusiastic 6-year-old students. Student learning gains from direct instruction pale in comparison to those gained through engaging, kinesthetic, collaborative learning tasks.

My classroom is a place where learning is loud, hands-on, student-centered, and rewarding.

Students spend much of their day in small groups working on interactive educational tasks to both learn and teach concepts to one another. It is a place where students are excited to come to school each day and discover and learn through fun, purposeful activities.

My Project

Each year, back-to-school shopping is a big part of every family's life. However, some students cannot afford the materials they need to be successful at school. Unfortunately, the budgets of schools are so stretched that they cannot support buying the school supplies needed for the year for students. Teachers often use much of their personal money purchasing school supplies for students who cannot afford the materials they will need to be successful at school.

Teachers need more support in providing students with the basic school supplies at the beginning of the school year.

As this project is funded, my students will have all the necessities for learning throughout the year, regardless of their financial status. They will have pencil boxes bursting open with crayons, expo markers, pencils, pens, glue sticks, scissors, and be all set up to have a wonderful year!
