My Project

The whiteboards and clipboards will give me a full classroom set and replace broken worn out old ones that came with my classroom 4 years ago. I currently can only use 5-10 in small group due to the lack of a full set and properly working ones. The expo markers will also go with the whiteboards. Although expos are on the supply list some students don’t bring any and those who do quickly use the ink. Having spares and back ups will allow me to supply the students materials they need. The clear envelope folders are what we use as a take home folder for parents to communicate with us teachers. The green folders are what I use for a daily math spiral review. We use these DAILY and I normally pay for the green folders so we have the correct ones. The seating will be used for flex seating. I currently have a few yoga balls and floor seats that my students LOVE, however not every student gets one each day due to not having enough. These will give me enough to have one for each student. I want my classroom to be a fun comfortable space for students to learn. As a child I remember sitting in the hard seat and desk for hours being uncomfortable and it was hard to concentrate. I don’t want that for my students. Thank you for reading and considering donating to my classroom!
