Classroom Essentials for the Classroom

Help me give my students the materials that they need in order to thrive in the classroom! The pencils and folders are most needed currently, but all items would be utilized every day. Thank you!

My Project

The goal for this project is to provide students with needed everyday materials for the classroom.

My students go above and beyond every day with their efforts, empathy, and hard work ethic.

They deserve the essentials for the classroom! The pencils and sharpies will be used very quickly, and all my students would utilize those in handwritten assignments, student-led activities, etc. The folders are needed for students who join the district in the middle of the school year and need a class folder to be able to keep all class handouts, assignments, or feedback. Thank you for taking the time to read about my project!
