Help me give my students updates and augment their art and reading supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Saks's classroom raised $998

My Project

My 5th graders love doing art, so staying well-supplied with paints and other art supplies helps make for engaged and ready artists. I also need to augment my class set of The Wild Robot so that every student can have a copy of the book while we read. Also, believe it or not, having some dictionaries handy is helpful, not everything should be googled. Finally, having a fresh set of classroom calculators will help with our math studies. Everyone needs to know how to use a calculator, don't you think?
