Pencils and Folders, Oh My!

Help me give my students the supplies and organization tools they need to succeed!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shafer's classroom raised $394

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are hard working and inquisitive 5th graders that thrive when using technology! Our classroom is a family. We work hard each day but also enjoy being with each other. My students are driven by their goals and want to succeed! My students have heart. They are creative and spunky! I want to offer them world from the four walls of our classroom. I cannot wait to see how much they grow in the coming year. It’s going to be a wonderful ride!

My Project

Pencils are one of the key tools used daily! We go through them so quickly and they are expensive to replace. These are the best pencils and they hold up the best in the classroom! Organization is a skill every human should have. Helping students organize their items allows for a more successful day! Marker make everything brighter! These markers will be used during reading to annotate the text and make the texts come to life! My students love using markers to enhance their stories! Please help me provide these items for my amazing students!
