Your Basic But Oh So Necessary! Classroom Supply Project

Help me give my students basic but essential classroom items such as small group book sets, Kleenex tissue, disinfectant wipes, headphones, and day-to-day necessities like pencils and poster board. It's a bit boring but oh so necessary!

My Project

Guess who's back? My class is in need of some essentials for our classroom. If you haven't heard, I once again have the best class in the whole world! They are kind, and comical, and take pride in their success. I'm lucky to work in a diverse school in West Valley that serves students from a variety of cultural, ability, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Help me provide these wonderful scholars with materials that will enrich their learning experience!

Although this project isn't as glitzy or glamorous as some of my previous projects, the items on this list will serve a critical need in my classroom.

Included on the list are headphones for independent computer work, Kleenex and wipes to keep the germs at bay, book sets for small group reading interventions and classroom basics like pencils and posters. Thank you for your ongoing support!
