My Project
In my classroom, a reliable pencil sharpener is a must- have in any classroom, ensuring students can always be prepared to write, draw, and learn without interruption. I’m also requesting organization bags — perfect for storing supplies and activity kits — and staples to help with classroom displays, anchor charts, and student work showcases.
Additionally, In my classroom, hands-on learning and organization are key to keeping students engaged and focused.
I am requesting essential supplies that will support both creativity and classroom management. Play-Doh and Mad Matter are fantastic tools for sensory play and fine motor skill development, allowing students to build, mold, and create while enhancing their focus and imagination. These materials also provide a calming outlet for students who may need a quiet, hands-on activity during the day.
With your support, these items will create a more organized, creative, and productive learning environment. Thank you for considering my project and for investing in my students’ success!
