My Project

Hello! My class and I could use a few things to round out our classroom! Our class library needs a major refresh with some more popular and modern kids' chapter book series. My students let me know which book series they enjoy the most and I have included those on our wish list. Another thing we use up consistently is erasers. I have put erasers and eraser caps on our list so that we can erase if needed during the learning process. I have many students this year who could benefit from having a chair fidget band to keep them from playing in their chair or tipping it back, which is unsafe. The chair bands will offer a safe solution to restlessness. Lastly, we could use a drawer set to help us store some items used around the classroom. Thank you for considering donating! :)
