Supplies for Creativity and Success

Help me give my students the supplies they need be creative and successful.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shupe's classroom raised $1,006

This project is fully funded

My Project

The items requested will support many aspects of the English I classroom. The Spanish versions of three of our anchor texts will enable full engagement for my English Language Learners. The headphones will support students who benefit from listening to the required reading.

The art supplies will allow for creative projects relating to the texts we read.

Finally, the book shelves will replace wobbly, worn out shelving on which we will be able to store books and supplies.

All of these supplies will enhance the projects we do and allow for all students to have the supplies they need to complete their work to the best of their abilities.
