Student School Supplies

Help me give my students new school supplies to finish out our second semester of learning

My Project

Dear Donors,

Please help me give my first-grade students some new, fresh school supplies to finish out our second semester strong!

I am asking for crayons, markers, pens, folders, and play-doh.

My students love to color, and add illustrations to their writing pieces! Unfortunately, after 23 weeks in school, the crayons we use are broken and worn down. The markers are becoming dried out and old. My students would absolutely love to use some fresh crayons and markers to continue drawing and coloring their beautiful pictures!

Additionally, my students are in need of play-doh for literacy stations. In my letter identification center, students form the upper and lower case letters with play-doh.

Thank you for all your help in supporting my 1st grade students!

Warm Regards,

Mrs. Gillespie
