My Project

My first-grade students are curious and eager learners who love exploring new ways to showcase their knowledge. To support their creativity and learning, I am requesting art supplies and classroom essentials that will help foster their growth, encourage positive behavior, and ensure they have the tools needed to thrive in our learning environment.

What We Need: Art Supplies: Watercolor paper, cardstock, and colored pencils to allow students to express themselves through art and complete creative projects.

Laminating Pouches: To preserve their hard work and create reusable resources for future learning activities. iPad Charging Cords: To replace broken cords and ensure our classroom technology is always ready to support independent and group learning activities. Paint-by-Sticker Books: To serve as fun and engaging incentives for positive behavior, motivating students to stay on task and excel.

How These Supplies Will Help: Art supplies will provide my students with opportunities to express their ideas in creative ways, helping them deepen their understanding of what they’re learning. Technology tools like iPads are critical for independent learning in our classroom, and the replacement charging cords will ensure our devices are ready to use each day. The paint-by-sticker books will add an extra layer of excitement, serving as a fun and rewarding way to celebrate my students’ hard work and good behavior.

Impact:These resources will empower my first graders to explore their creativity, strengthen their learning, and foster a love for education. By providing a variety of tools and incentives, we can create a classroom environment where every student feels inspired to learn and succeed.
