Help me give my students a place of their own to store their belongings.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Duffy's classroom raised $739
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
Furniture necessary to begin a school year anew. Unfortunately my previous project, although fully funded, was not fulfilled due to the cubbies I’d chosen becoming unavailable.
My incoming TK and Kindergarten students need their very own place to keep their things.
Right now the classroom only has cardboard mailboxes that barely hold the children’s library books. All the other Kindergarten students in the school have their own desks to keep their school materials like textbooks, workbooks, and pencil boxes. My classroom is set up as a TK room and only contains round tables without desks.
Most school years we have had too many Kindergarteners and not enough TK students so I end up having a combination class. This is most likely going to be my class makeup next year too.
My kiddos need their own personal space to store their materials and projects. At this time workbooks are stacked in my bookshelf and pencil boxes are sitting on a table that should be used for small group activities. We actually don’t get as much done because the kiddos have to get all of their materials from different places in the room, which takes a lot more time to do. Having a cubby for each student would save time. The kiddos would have one centralized place to get their things from.
The cubbies would also benefit my TK students because they can keep their library books and class projects there. Having cubbies would also make it take less time at the end of the day to prepare for dismissal. Every minute we save adds minutes to their academic time. Please help! My kiddos deserve it!!
