Pause & Refresh the Room

Help me give my students basic materials to help us keep on learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kerestes's classroom raised $206

This project is fully funded

My Project

My class is looking to refresh our basic classroom materials. Overtime, our basic supplies of dry erase markers, tape, laminating pouches, folders, and binders have become worn and used. We are also looking to get a few calculators and teddy bear counters to help us check our work in math class.

These materials will help us refresh our resources to help us continue what we have been doing.

We are always using dry erase markers at our white board table to help us with math. These new markers will allow students to continue to have access to this valuable tool and resource.

The folders and binders will be used to help with progress monitoring as well as create individual folders for students. The tape and laminating pouches will allow us to continue to create and use reusable games within the classroom. My students enjoy getting to complete hand on activities.

We appreciate you taking the time to help our classroom. Thank you so much for supporting students with special needs as well as education.
