Ready, Set, Go! Starting the New Year

Help me give my students pencils, gift cards for incentives and folders for all of us to be organized.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Caruso's classroom raised $217

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students come to school every day eager to learn. My class is made up of heterogeneously grouped children ranging from non-English speaking to advanced learners.

Starting the year strong with a welcoming classroom and supplies for everyday tasks is fundamental.

Hanging file folders will be used to keep student work as well as classroom tasks organized. Pens will be used when students check their work. Other basic classroom supplies such as pencils, markers, dry erase cleaning supplies, and tape will be used to complete assignments as needed. Amazon gift cards will be used for PBIS and incentives to keep my 3rd graders motivated. Students will participate in discussions about financial decisions using the gift cards and incentives they would like to see in our treasure chest.

These resources will be beneficial in our classroom.
