My Project

I am a first year teacher seeking help to add more enrichment and flexible seating in my classroom! My goal is to help nurture my students natural curiosity to learn and provide them with the most comfortable and flexible classroom possible! My more expensive items are flexible seating items, including pillows and trays, that students can sit down at the rug and work all together as a group rather than from desks. The trays will also allow me to take students outdoors to enjoy working outside. I also have requested several items for STEM bins as I do not have much to work with and really hope to be able to offer that to my students without breaking the bank. All donations to my classroom will truly be appreciated by all members in my classroom!
