Preparing for the 25-26 School Year

Help me give my students the necessary supplies to get them through the day. They need writing utensils, snacks, headphones that actually work with their computers and a set of novels to process the in class learning!

My Project

My students for this school year are phenomenal. I will miss this group. Based on their feedback and the known needs of the incoming class, I know I need to start the year off with plenty of ready-to-go items. We go through pencils at such a fast rate, I need to be able to keep up with the everyday supplies. I want to ensure that all my students feel prepared for the class, so snacks and supplies will be of great help.

Additionally, I am going to have students complete a book study in my World Religions and Human Geography class.

While students may have seen this book before, the implementation of the book will be much different than in earlier grades.

I also need a few things to tidy up my classroom, which will provide more space for students and student desks, as our numbers keep increasing.

Anything would be of great help to my students as we are in a Title 1 school, and I am fearful that we will not be getting the same funding we've had in previous years, where I could rely on other disbursements.

Thank you for considering my project!
