Starting Off Next Year Right!

Help me give my students the materials they need for a great start for a new year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Joe Sylvester's classroom raised $636

This project is fully funded

My Project

The materials in the project will be used in conjunction with the new books we are getting next year. Rather than having a text book series we are getting novels. This means I will have 1,100 novels in my room. The cabinets will be used to store them. The Teacher pay Teacher's gift card will be used to find materials to use with the students in class.

The pens, tissues, and other odds and ends are to replenish the supplies we are running low on now.

Romeo & Juliet DVD is to replace the worn copy we have now. The bulletin board is used to post announcements for the class.
