My Project

With a new school year quickly approaching, our classroom needs a “pick me up”. 11 years ago I received floor cushions, through DonorsChoose, but they are on their last leg. Please help provide new, comfortable, and flexible seating for my incoming students. We use these cushions for independent and group work ( or sometimes taking a social-emotional break!)

We are also in need of TPT gift cards to help find supplemental practice or differentiated work.

Our class is comprised of children learning at all different academic levels and knowing I can find additional resources and create centers (where those laminating sheets comes in handy)

Additionally, keeping our tech center organized, calm down center fidgets stocked, and academic posters available throughout the room, are a huge help to a fresh start in our classroom!
