Organizing for a Great School Year!

Help me give my students the basic supplies to start the school year, and to provide smoother transitions with stronger organization.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sperske's classroom raised $580

My Project

All of our students need basic supply needs as well as organization. Being a new teacher organization is key going from a Title 1 school last year to not being a Title 1 this coming year my students need basic supplies that the district does not provide. Having activities for when there is indoor recess to having good STEM actives the kids need to those basic things.

Having a classroom that is organized and with all of the supplies that is needed will help the students be able to focus and learn which will increase their academic achievement.

By having basic supplies needs met my students will be able to learn without wondering if they have a pencil, eraser and even art supplies when we do basic art things. I want to see my students succeed and having these in the classroom will help with their success.
