My Project

After 1 year of teaching, I have realized that some more supplies would help my students learn even more in the next school year. I currently have 1 wobble stool and see the impact it has on my student's learning. The wobble stool allows students to move around in order to help them pay attention. I am asking for 2 more so when I work with small groups even more students can benefit from this type of seating. I additionally need more book bins to be able to put out all the books I have acquired! I want the bins to be nice, bright, and organized for my students to have easy access to all the books I have to share.
