"I teach twenty transitional First Grade students in Louisiana. My students come out of Kindergarten, but are not quite ready for the rigors of first grade. They spend a year with me to help them grow developmentally, so they are better prepared to enter first grade.

After losing everything in my classroom to Hurricane Katrina, I have worked hard to re-build a classroom for my wonderful six year olds. I recently took over the classroom of a retiring teacher. While she left me a wonderful classroom full of resources, some of the furniture leaves a lot to be desired. Actually it is not furniture at all, but old, cracking milk crates that are duct-taped together to form cubbies to hold all of the art materials. As you can imagine, this is not very aesthetically pleasing!

I would love to have a nice piece of furniture cubbies with clear bins to organize our materials. This would make a huge difference in how our classroom looks, and it would allow for more space as the milk crates take up a lot of space.

With your help, we can get rid of the ugly, bulky milk crates and give my students an organized space for all of our art materials.

Thank you so much for your interest in our proposal. HIDE

My students need a 20-cubby storage unit with 20 clear plastic bins to organize our art resources. The cost of this proposal is $685, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ?."
