Supplies for Students to Start Strong

Help me give my students the supplies to start the new school year off strong!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Gauthier's classroom raised $489

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Each year as teachers we are tasked with meeting a whole new group of students. They come to us nervous and excited to learn. With this the need for a quality set of supplies is so important to begin the year. These essential supplies not only benefit students all year but they are extremely important to help begin the year off strong. Having tools such as turn in bins or letter strays make sure students can not only find their work but keep things neat and organized.

Keeping the classroom clean and welcoming is a must!

With the help of cleaning wipes, laminating sheets, and sound wall cards it allows for classroom resources to be cleaned and sanitized easily while still portraying important developmentally appropriate information.
