My Project

As a dedicated 6th grade Language Arts teacher, I strive every day to create an engaging, organized, and inspiring classroom environment where my students can thrive. To make that vision a reality, I am reaching out for support to help provide essential classroom supplies for the upcoming school year.

Many of my students come to school eager to learn, but without the materials they need to succeed.

This year, I am seeking assistance in securing a range of supplies that will support instruction, organization, and student creativity across reading, writing, and collaborative projects. These items include:

Oxford Loose Leaf College-Ruled Paper (2,000 sheets)

Post-it Super Sticky Wall Easel Pads

Legal and Junior Legal Writing Pads

Lined and blank sticky notes

Post-it Notes (Floral Fantasy Collection)

White and neon poster boards

Ruled and blank index cards

Various card stock (white, pastel, and bright colors)

Desk calendar for planning

Sentence strips (white and rainbow)

These resources will be used daily for note-taking, writing practice, group brainstorming, creative projects, and academic displays that bring our learning to life. From composing persuasive essays to analyzing texts, these supplies are the foundation for many meaningful learning experiences in my classroom.

Your contribution—no matter the amount—would make a significant impact. It would ensure that all students have equal access to the tools they need and help foster a positive, organized space where learning and confidence can grow.

Your generosity not only provides supplies—it empowers students, supports learning, and shows them that their success matters to a community that believes in them.
