Help Me Fund My First Year

Help me give my students items like bean bag chairs, chair bands, and motivational cards for an amazing 5th grade classroom that feels safe and inclusive for all. This is my first year teaching and supplies have been hard for me to come by. I appreciate all your help.

My Project

The items in my wish list help make our classroom an effective classroom and will benefit all of my students. From rewards to positive notes, a calendar, daily schedule, kick bands, fidgets for those who need them, and chairs for our library will help make our classroom feel like a second home to all my students. There's also some reward items like bracelets and animal erasers for our class store. This is my first year teaching and classroom supplies have been hard to come by and I really want my students to succeed in their last year of elementary school with me. I want my students to feel included and safe in our classroom environment and these supplies will help them have a full classroom that they have access to.
