Organizational Essentials

Help me give my students an electric pencil sharpener, Post-it pads, Velcro dots, a timer, a stapler, and hanging storage bags.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shillingford's classroom raised $456

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are eager to learn. The supplies that I am requesting for my students are essentials to help improve organization. The electric pencil sharpener will be used to sharpen the hundreds of pencils my eager learners will utilize during a school year. The hanging clear storage bags will be used to store headphones, books, posters and other supplies needed in the classroom. The Velcro dots will be used to mount posters on the walls. The stapler would be used to replace one of the broken staplers in the classroom. The timer will provide students a clear visual of the allotted time scheduled for assignments or activities. The Post-it chart pads will be used to create anchor charts that reflect the standards being addressed throughout the week.

The donations for this project will help to improve my students' organizational skills and provide them with the necessary tools necessary for learning.

Thank you for your consideration to provide my students with the organizational essentials needed for learning.
