New Year New Supplies Take 3!

Help me give my students school supplies and incentives for the new year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gardner's classroom raised $169

My Project

I am beginning my second year teaching and cannot wait to meet my new students. I will start a morning meeting this year and use motivational chips to give us great things to talk about.

My students come from low income households and need new supplies to start the school year.

I will use colorful pens and sticky notes to do a quick check to see if students are learning the concepts being taught. I will use water bottle stickers to motivate my students to participate in class discussions. I cannot wait to meet this new group of students.
