This project is to replenish basic classroom supplies for winter. As you are aware, cold and flu season is upon us, which is why we are requesting tissues and wet wipes. We also need a restock of basic classroom supplies. We need Expo markers, pencils, Sharpies, etc. The supplies like pencils are used in basically all school activities such as writing, math, science, etc. Sharpies will be used on a daily basis as well, for writing and science. My students use Sharpies to label their science projects and use when drawing. Expo markers are needed desperately for math. We use whiteboards and Expo markers every single day to work on math problems and on our homework. These are just some of the reasons basic supply replenishment is needed.
My kids are so in love with the flex seating we received from our last project that I thought we would seek one more type: balance ball seats! I have more engagement from my students as they sit in their flex seating, and I have fewer classroom interruptions. My kids are in love with bounce chairs! It gives my students a choice in what chair they learn best in and which is more comforting for them. Flex seating gives my fifth graders a chance to be independent.
