Ready to Rock and Restock

Help me give my students stools, baskets, pencil sharpeners, and other essential supplies to start a new school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. States's classroom raised $534

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project is focusing on setting up reading center groups and having the essential supplies to start our new school year. My fourth grades will explore new leveled reading cards, dive into interesting articles during small group instruction, explore our library with a new organization system, and have all the classroom materials they need to be successful!

Students will be motivated to dive deeper into reading and learning new skills to help them be successful.

This project and all these essential supplies are geared to help my students find a new passion to read, write, and explore different genres.

Since our school is Title I, I know many of my students lack access to supplies. In our classroom, I want them to have everything they need to be successful. Without hesitation, I would love for them to have a pencil pouch full of all the important tools they need to be successful every day.
