It's All About the Bare Necessities

Help me give my students Colorations Washable Classic Markers so they can have materials to add some color to their drawings. Our markers are currently on their way to the recycling bin because they have all dried out.

My Students

I teach a Pre-K-4 classroom of 15 diverse learners in an urban setting. They come from a variety of cultures and socio-economic backgrounds. Due to Covid social distancing and safety precautions, our classrooms look a lot different this year compared to our old norm. Regardless of the changes, these children arrive daily with smiles on their faces excited get started.

Our students are creative and lively children who are eager to learn and we make it our goal to assist them in reaching their fullest potential.

We strive daily to entertain our class and keep them engrossed in learning. Through hands-on activities, the children are able to express themselves to their heart's desire.

My Project

The allotted money for our yearly supply orders was cut tremendously this year and we have yet to receive anything that we ordered. We are trying our best to provide our students with materials that will engage them in every way possible. We would truly appreciate you assistance in reaching our goal!

Due to CO-VID safe practices, we are required to provide our students with individualized materials.

The play dough, bulk set of markers, and personal dry erase boards, just to name a few, will be extremely useful in my classroom. With them, my students will have more options throughout the day and the upcoming months as we engage in a variety of activities.
