Spring Basics

My students need tissues and loose-leaf paper to see us through to the summer.

My Students

It's allergy season, and tissues are a hot classroom commodity. We began the year with a stack of boxes students brought in, but our supply is dwindling fast. The school supply closet is also out of loose-leaf paper, which is another English class essential.

I teach English to 6th and 7th grade gifted & talented students.

Our middle school student body is a diverse group of students from a wide variety of backgrounds with a range of talents and interests. My classes are filled with motivated students who are eager to learn something new every day.

My Project

It would be a great benefit to our classroom to receive a supply of tissues and loose-leaf paper that will see us through until the end of the year. Tissues will keep the classroom sanitary, and loose-leaf paper will allow students to complete various classroom activities during English class.

Tissues and loose-leaf may seem like basic items, but these two little things can make a big difference in my students' class experience for the duration of the school year.

Please consider supporting this project and enhancing English class for a great group of middle school students this year!
