A Cozy Chair and Lessons that Care

Help me give my students classroom furniture and accessories to stay organized and engaged.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Contreras's classroom raised $368

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

For this project, I am seeking an office chair. As a resource specialist, a lot of time is spent writing IEPs and assessment reports. Because of this, it would be great to find ann office chair that is comfortable and ergonomically correct. Other materials include a label maker and hole puncher.

You can see from my other projects that the goal of my classroom is organization.

I often find that students with messy backpacks have quite a bit of crumbled worksheets at the bottom of their bags. That extra step of hole punching their worksheet seems to be too much. I am hoping this hole puncher can help this issue.
