My Project
I'm a third-year teacher and it's still so difficult to make sure your students have everything they need! Each year, I run out of tissue, notebook paper, and pencils. The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door!
Whiteboards will allow me to see exactly what they are doing.
These along with Post-it easel pads provide an easy place for them to show and share their work.
Books are the most important thing to have in an ELA classroom because they can foster a love of reading. I'd also like to allow students flexible seating options during independent reading time, which is why I am asking for floor pillows. Lastly, I believe students should be rewarded for their hard work and one of my favorites is game day! UNO and Jenga are some of my students' favorite games and are great for building social skills. Raising children takes a village, so we need you.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
