My Project

The supplies I am requesting for my students already have a special place in our classroom. I know exactly how each item will enhance their learning experience. All we need now is your support to help get these materials through our door! The laminating pouches will be used to preserve student work, ensuring their projects and accomplishments are kept safe and can be displayed proudly. The colorful Paper Mate Flair Pens and InkJoy Gel Pens will allow students to express their creativity during writing and art activities, making lessons more vibrant and fun.

The mini 3D animal erasers will serve as exciting incentives for students, helping to build a positive and encouraging atmosphere in the classroom.

The Dixon Wedge Pencil Cap Erasers will help students correct their work with ease, allowing them to grow and learn from their mistakes without hesitation. The Post-it Easel Pads will be essential for creating anchor charts that will support student understanding of lessons and class discussions.

Nutritious snacks like Mott’s Fruit Snacks and Veggie Straws will keep students energized throughout the day, ensuring they can stay focused and ready to learn. The mini flashlights will make activities like "Flashlight Fridays" a special treat, turning reading time into an adventure. Finally, the fluffy, fun pencils will bring excitement to daily writing tasks, encouraging students to be enthusiastic about their work.

Your donations to this project will directly impact my students by providing them with the tools and materials they need to stay engaged, motivated, and supported in their learning. With these resources, I can create an enriching, creative, and organized classroom environment that fosters both academic and personal growth. Thank you for helping to bring this vision to life and making a difference for my students!
