My Project

As a third grade educator I am trying to give my students the resources to help them focus. The wobble stools with do just that but allowing them to move while working.

I also have toys on my list because with the weather the past few weeks we have been inside for recess and third graders are rough with their toys.

So I have had to throw some away that I have bought with my own money.

Lastly are the snacks. Every day we have snack time in the afternoon and some students can’t afford or don’t have the ability to bring in snacks for themselves. I try to always have snacks but it can get expensive for myself.

Thank you so much for donating myself and my students appreciate it a lot!
