Help Build The Foundation: Startup Classroom Supplies
$468
$355 goal
The Description
After completing Teach for America - 2016 Philadelphia Institute I will be responsible for my very own classroom! I can't wait to decorate and meet my students and their families. One of the biggest hurdles that students in high need schools face is a lack of the necessary materials that are needed daily. It makes it infinitely more difficult for students to take part in activities and classwork when they do not have basic supplies.
To get the year started off right, I will use the funds that I raise to purchase the startup supplies needed to welcome my students to a classroom that is clean and stocked full with materials. This will allow me to provide the required supplies to students that otherwise would not have them. I will also purchase copy paper to ensure that I can provide my students with high quality learning materials, whether that is exit tickets, independent activities, or homework.
Here is a complete list of the materials that your generous investment will help provide for the students of my very first classroom:
- 2 Boxes of Paper (10 Reams) - $50
- Kleenex (18 Pack) - $36
- 2 Boxes of Pencils (288 Count) - $32
- Paper Towels (12 Rolls) - $28
- Anchor Chart Paper (2 Pack) - $27
- 2 Packs of Dry Erase Markers (32 Count) - $22
- Hand Sanitizer (Pack of 2) - $20
- 3 Packs of Erasers (36 Count) - $18
- 2 Packs of Ballpoint Pens (48 Count) - $15
- Clorox Disinfecting Wipes (3 Pack) - $12
- Grading Pens (12 Count) - $12
- 3x5 Index Cards (10 Packs) - $12
- Pack of Highlighters (50 Count) - $10
- Post-it Notes (24 Pads) - $9
- Sharpie Chart Markers (8 Count) - $9
- Sharpie Permanent Markers (12 Count) - $7
- Paper Clips (Assorted 450 Count) - $6
- Binder Clips (30 Count) - $3
Back Up Plan
If I do not meet my goal, I will purchase as many materials as possible. I will prioritize the materials that are most essential to students (pencils, paper, etc.) as they are the most important to ensuring that students can participate in daily lessons.

Post-Training Update!
August 15, 2016
A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated to my campaign, and to those who sent me good thoughts and encouragement :) School does not begin until August 29, but I have already begun filling my classroom with curriculum binders, student files, labeled highlighters, and a fresh coat of paint. Next week is crunch time, so pictures will be posted then!
Again, I am so grateful for your support! My students are going to have a wonderful learning space because of you.
