Stocking Up for Success in Kindergarten!

Help me give my students chair storage pockets, a bookshelf, an art drying rack, and a utility cart to keep our classroom organized, along with essential supplies like snacks, headphones, and manipulatives that support learning and daily routines.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rawlinson's classroom raised $4,546

My Project

As a first-year teacher, I am still in the process of building my classroom and making sure my students and I have everything we need to succeed. I teach an amazing class of intelligent, kind, and loving kindergartners at a Title I school, where resources can be limited, but the enthusiasm for learning is limitless. My students come to school each day excited, curious, and ready to grow. They deserve a classroom that supports their learning, encourages independence, and makes them feel safe, loved, and prepared.

This project includes resources that will make a big difference in our daily routine and learning environment.

Chair storage pockets will help my students stay organized and minimize distractions. A bookshelf, rolling utility cart, and art drying rack will provide much-needed structure for materials and student work. Snacks and juice will keep my young learners energized and focused throughout the day. Manipulatives, crayons, and phonics tools will support hands-on learning, while classroom management items like treasure box toys and stickers will keep engagement high.

The TPT gift cards will allow me to access high-quality educational resources that support my students' academic needs. Many of the most effective activities and tools on TPT come at a cost; I’ve spent much of my own money on these materials. This would help me purchase differentiated lessons, small group activities, and skill-based practice that I can use immediately and in future years.

My goal is to create a classroom that fosters creativity, structure, joy, and academic success. With your support, I can ensure my students have what they need to thrive, not just today, but for the rest of the year and beyond. Thank you for helping me build a strong foundation for my students’ learning journey.
