My Project

Please help give my first graders some basic supplies that are running low in the classroom. My students need hygiene items like facial tissue, Clorox wipes, and alcohol wipes to keep my students healthy. My students learned that they need to do their part to avoid the spread of illnesses.

Our classroom incentive sticker container needs replenishing too.

I use stickers daily to motivate them to accurately read all the first grade word lists. If students get “meets with proficiency” or higher on their tests, they get rewarded with the special stickers to use on their water bottles, folders, or anywhere else they choose.

A few of our classroom centers need some materials since it was either used up, broke, or got lost. The materials needed are colored pens, pencils, pencil covers, surge protectors, colored bells, ornament string, post it notes, storage bags, and containers.

I'd like to surprise my students with a few more items to add to their calming tools bags along with a bag tag. They would love ribbon sticks, Lego-like kits, pop its, and snake fidgets. The students use their bags during transitions, before/after test taking, and for other times the students might need it.

The classroom bulletins need some sprucing up. I’d like to add some decorations to highlight the student's work samples. It would bring the students and I so much joy to have these materials brought to life!
