We Need The Basics!

Help me give my students the basic classroom supplies like highlighters, Kleenex tissues, Lysol wipes and folders.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Bantsolas's classroom raised $204

My Project

Learning starts right away and these materials will give students clearly marked objectives, learning materials, and organization to start their day. My students have experienced a lot of uncertainty over the last two school years and I want to give them a stable, clearly organized and ready to learn room. Highlighters, folders, Kleenex tissues, Clorox wipes and other items are needed for daily small group instruction. This project will help replenish my resources so I can continue to make learning fun and engaging. This school year was crazy and most of my students lost their folders at home. Now I need to replace folders and get them for next year.
