Ms. Calderwood's 2024 Classroom Needs

Help me give my students what they will need to be successful this school year. These are everyday supplies like pencils, glue, paper, headphones, and recess equipment. I'm excited about the yellow paper, which will be used weekly.

My Project

These items will play a significant role in supporting our students’ learning and growth. Headphones, pencils and paper are fundamental tools for writing and completing assignments, while dry erase markers help us make lessons more engaging and interactive. Folders will help students stay organized, which is key to their academic success. Recess equipment like balls, and jump popes are equally important as it promotes physical activity and teamwork, contributing to a well-rounded educational experience.

We greatly appreciate any contributions you can make.

Your support helps us create a positive and productive learning environment, and it truly makes a difference in our students' educational journey. Thank you for considering a donation to our classroom wish list that includes cleaning and sensory items. Your generosity is invaluable and greatly appreciated!
