FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gapper's classroom raised $227

My Project

The school year is just starting. We are about to be in full Pre K mode, but we are lacking in some items. We are looking for a new soft chair to have in our dramatic play area. Doesn't every kitchen need a lazyboy-like chair just for a 4 year old? We think so.

As Goldilocks said, “It is Just Right”.

We are looking to add to our art center with new paint sticks. They are like crayons but better. They can be used to create new fun crafts. Its the beginning of the year are we are just starting having fun in my classroom.
