Students Need to Learn (Not Worry About School Supplies)

Help me give my students basic classroom supplies so they don't have to figure out how to supply them on their own and focus on learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Barrett's classroom raised $396

My Project

When students are trying to learn and discover, they should not have to worry about acquiring school supplies. While some students have the means to purchase their own quality supplies, many students do not and are afraid to ask. When this happens, students will try to make do with inadequate supplies and their learning can suffer.

To ensure sure that my students are focused on learning, I am requesting essential supplies for the classroom so that each student feels they have everything they need to focus on the discovery and learning process.

Pencils, sticky notes, highlighters, and tape will ensure that each student has quality materials for an interactive notebook. A classroom set of colored pencils and markers will allow students to make meaningful visual connections with their notes. Rulers, masking tape, rubber bands, and dry erase boards/markers will enhance modeling projects in the classroom.

With your support students will not have to worry about how or where they are getting supplies for school. They will be able to focus on discovery, building skills and making meaningful connections.
