"Kindergarten teacher who needs some supplies to better the needs of her students. I am currently starting my second year (last year was an interim) in a high poverty school. I would like some new furniture for the kids, as well as,a book holder and magnetic easel.

How would you like to sit on furniture that was smelly and worn?? I would like a new couch for my listening/reading center. Also, a magnetic dry erase board would be great for those "hands on" activities involving the alphabet, math, science and also for holding the big books currently stored under my sink.

I am in desperate need of a dry erase board. Currently my dry erase board is a white shower board mounted to the wall. You can imagine my surprise when my magnets did not work properly. I encourage my students by using "hand on" activities, mainly using magnetic manipulatives. My big books are currently stored under my sink and the couch in my room is smelly and worn. The students need a comfortable place to read and also have accessibility to big books.

With your help, my students will be able to utilize the big book area for association between oral and written language. They will also feel cozy and comfortable while sitting on new furniture in the listening center and

be able to participate in many "hands on" activities with the magnetic dry erase board.

My students need a kid sized couch for their listening center, a big book magnetic book holder, and a large magnetic write and wipe easel. The cost of this proposal is $782, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ?."
