Back to Basics: Help Us Replenish Classroom Supplies

Help me give my students access to the supplies we use most frequently in class. We go through writing and drawing materials quickly each year. Having these supplies available will greatly support their creativity and enhance our projects.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These essential supplies will be used for everyday classroom needs, including note-taking, assignments, and group work. Regular replenishment ensures that these essential materials are always available. These materials will also support special assignments and projects that require specific tools, such as creating posters, dioramas, or detailed reports. They will also be utilized in creative assignments that allow students to explore their artistic skills, including drawing, painting, and crafting.

I aim to ensure that all my students have access to high-quality materials, regardless of their personal circumstances.

Organizational supplies will help keep the classroom environment structured and efficient, supporting both student organization and teacher preparation.

Grades 6-8
