Help me give my students essential supplies that we need to start the year off successfully.

My Project

Back-to-school season is such an exciting time in second grade! It’s a fresh start, full of potential, and I want to make sure our classroom is ready to support learning, creativity, and organization from day one.

This project will help me set up a well-organized and efficient classroom environment by providing essential supplies like storage bins, file organizers, and a step ladder.

These items will help keep our learning space clean, safe, and accessible—ensuring students can find what they need and focus on what matters most: learning and growing.

I'm also requesting a binding machine and cardstock, which will be used throughout the year to create beautiful, personalized books and projects. We bind students’ writing and class-made books all year long, giving them a true sense of authorship and pride in their work. There's something magical about holding a finished, bound book you created—and my second graders absolutely light up when they get to take their “published” work home to share with their families.

These supplies will make a lasting impact on our classroom environment, helping us stay organized, creative, and student-centered all year long. With your support, we’ll be off to a strong start and ready to make this school year our best one yet!
