Upgrading Our Classroom Essentials

Help me give my students essential classroom items like a pencil sharpener, organizational drawers, and a laminator!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Anna's classroom raised $567

My Project

I am requesting a number of classroom essentials for my students. The organizational drawers will allow students easy access to picture sorting and spelling cards. I'm also requesting a laminator with refill laminating sheets to keep our paper materials looking nice for years to come. The gold crayons will allow students to represent golden bead quantities on paper as a part of math work.

We have gone through three electric pencil sharpeners since last year, and we are looking for an upgrade!

The children use the pencil sharpener during their "afternoon jobs" to sharpen pencils and colored pencils to prepare the classroom for the next day.
