Supplies to Persist Through the Year

Help me give my students Teachers Pay Teachers resources, fidget toys, index cards, and binders. I surveyed my students last week and these are the supplies they indicated they need!

My Project

I surveyed my students last week to reflect on first semester. I also asked them what they need to keep going this year. Some of the supplies they indicated that would help them include: fidget toys, index cards, and binders.

You wouldn't believe how much high schoolers love fidget toys; they help them manage their anxiety and bring joy to them throughout the day.

Index cards help them with note-taking, and binders help them with organization.

I am also in need of Teachers Pay Teachers resources for class lessons and projects. My students were brave enough to advocate for their needs, so I hope there are some folks out there generous enough to help them get the supplies they need!
