The Things We Need!

Help me give my students access to classroom supplies, a nice reading carpet, a fun treat, and more storage!!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. A's classroom raised $775

This project is fully funded

My Project

The ink is needed for my classroom printer so my students can have fun and colorful coloring pages and access more resources that are available online through print! And to keep their nameplates from getting all scratched up, some contact paper would be perfect!

Additionally, my students need dividers for their binders, as we will compile all their resources into one area!

And, of course, those binders need a new home to be placed, so I figured a foldable shelf would be perfect! And to applaud their hard work during the hot Hawaiian heat, some nice otter pops should excite them!

And if they happen to drop their otter pop, it'd be good to have some extra paper towels in the classroom to help clean up, as we tend to run out from how much we wash our hands to keep up our cleanliness!

And once students are done with their snack, I'm sure they'd LOVE to read on a nice new reading carpet!
