Supplies Kits for Distance Learning!

Help me give my students a tool kit of school supplies like writing journals to help them complete their distance learning lessons at home.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Aldridge's classroom raised $592

My Students

Never in my wildest dreams would I ever have thought that we would have to close our schools because of a pandemic. Immediately I came to the conclusion that I did not have the proper materials on hand to help them continue their learning at home.

Please help me provide my students with a school tool kit that they can use at home to enable them to continue to be engaged with the curriculum at home.

My Project

My students are always engaged and exuberante about learning. Having to switch to distance learning was sudden and left many of my students at a disadvantage due to the fact that they did not have basic school supplies at home.

Equity is very important and they ALL need to have journals, pencils, art supplies, and math manipulatives at their disposal to make the transition to at home learning a manageable task no matter the income situation of their families.

This tool kit of supplies will ensure that all of my students have what they need to proudly complete their school work at home.
