Help me give my students composition books, glue sticks, scissors, pencils, and a backpack to soar into first grade

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rodnell's classroom raised $389

My Project

My students are inquisitive, energetic, and motivated students. They are amazing and love challenges. They always ask questions as they explore the world around them. They enjoy learning new things and will continue to grow.

I want to help my students to soar into their next chapter of learning with some material to aid them.

They take pride in being prepared for school daily. It would be amazing for each student to have this gift to help them conquer some of their new challenges. All of the materials in this project are necessary for their instruction for the upcoming school year. The backpacks are a way to transport their supplies and other materials necessary to be successful. They will also use the composition books and pencils to practice the writing skills they need to succeed.
