New Seats for Focus and Some Fun

Help me give my students a place to sit at our back table by providing them with padded stools. We also need some games for indoor recess as well as craft supplies for our projects.

My Project

I am a third grade teacher at a Title I school. At the beginning of the year, I moved to a new state and my seats for the back table as well as some of boxes ended up missing. This project will allow my students sit comfortably at the back table, which will in return allow them to focus on the lessons being taught. It also will allow them a break from their traditional chair. As well as having privacy folders that allow them to focus on their work and not be distracted by other students or fear that some one else will see their work.

All of the other items included in this project are craft supplies and games that will allow my students to have fun in classroom while building a sense of community.

These supplies are not one time use but rather can be used over and over again to create several projects.
