Organization Tools for Success!

Help me give my students basic supplies like seat sacks, whiteboards, and crayons to help them stay organized and succeed in my classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Galardi's classroom raised $981

My Project

The biggest items on my list are the most necessary in helping my fourth grade students to succeed this year. These include seat sacks and colored folders. These are organizational items that help the students to keep everything together and have what they need within their grasp. This is very important because at the start of this year we were given new student desk and chairs but there was no budget left for basic supplies. These necessary items then fall on to the teacher to supply. Having these things would be huge in helping me to do my job effectively. The other items on the list are forms of basic supplies for which I have been providing myself as our school budget will not allow it.
