My Project

I like to ensure that my students always come into a classroom environment that is not only fun and exciting, but accessible to them as well. Every year, we deplete our classroom supplies, and need to restock for the next school year!

This classroom list not only has day-to-day necessities, but also some cool items like a classroom doorbell for an "attention getter", and a visual timer to help with transitions.

The storage caddies will hold our much-needed daily supplies like pencils, markers, erasers, and crayons for our tables. The easel paper will help me create anchor charts for my visual learners! The highlighters will help us map out our word problems so that we know the important information, and what we are being asked to solve.

I know just how much my students will benefit from this project. Please help us turn these dreams into a reality! Your donations are so appreciated!
