I would love my students to walk into our classroom and have it feel like home! I can envision it already! The kids walk in, hand in their homework in the new colored trays, and then it's reading time. The first reading group gets to go into our classroom library, grab a brand new comfy saucer chair or storage stool, and then dive into a great book from our new colored book bins labeled by genre! The storage stools and bench will be a great reading motivator and double as storage space! As they look up, they'll see all of the wonderful books we've been reading on our new magnetic display shelves. Any completed work will be returned in our new magnetic folder bins, which will help keep everything neat and organized for each reading group. Then, it's writing time! Every child will be so encouraged to share their story and project their voice loud and proud through our new microphone! Every month parents will be invited to come in and hear their child's writing at our publishing party. They will have no trouble hearing their son or daughter share now! Everyone will love coming into our new, organized, feel-like-home classroom! Your donation will help improve my students' organization, reading and writing motivation, and help increase parental involvement. I want the students to be proud of our classroom and all of the hard work that they do. Having an organized, inviting classroom will do just that! My students and I appreciate any donation that you could make; you are truly helping impact the future! Thank you so much!
