A Great Start!

Help me give my students everything they need to start back to school because students will not be able to share supplies and will need the basics to get started.

My Students

Our school is located on the outskirt of a large school district and is unique with its culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms. Whether or not they are emerging or fluent readers and mathematicians, our students are all seeking to grow! Due to different circumstances, sometimes students come to our school with gaps in their learning. Before leaving, I want them to fill these gaps and become lifelong learners.

My Project

Students will need the basics to get off to a great start! Individual supplies, like pencils, pouches and earbuds, can be used at home or when students return to face-to-face learning.

Our classroom will need the sanitizing supplies and facial tissues more than ever!

Being able to give students individual hand sanitizers will be crucial in helping us stay healthy and learning! These materials will help me keep me and my students safe during this virus crisis.

I will be able to keep my classroom and materials in my classroom cleaned and sanitized. This will help me create a safe environment for my students.
