Tools and Books to Help Our Classroom Thrive

Help me give my students the classroom supplies and stories that bring learning to life.

My Project

My classroom is currently in need of a few everyday supplies that help our learning run smoothly each day. Items like glue sticks, pencil top erasers, and dry erase markers are used regularly by my students during lessons and independent practice. We are currently out of glue sticks, and our dry erase markers are quickly running low since students use them daily for writing, solving problems, and participating in interactive activities.

I have also included individual storage bags so students can keep their whiteboards, markers, and other learning materials organized and easily accessible.

This will help us transition more smoothly between activities and keep our classroom materials in good condition. Additionally, one of our classroom pencil sharpeners was recently broken, so a new sharpener will help ensure students can always keep their pencils ready for writing.

Finally, I have added more books to help expand our classroom library. My students have developed a real excitement for reading, and adding new books will give them even more opportunities to discover stories they love and continue building their reading skills. These supplies and books will support our daily learning and help create a classroom environment where students feel prepared, organized, and excited to learn.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
