A Spot to Sit

Help me give my students a bench with room for book storage and large sticky notes for anchor charts.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Van Kirk's classroom raised $180

This project is fully funded

My Project

I would like to add this bench that will also hold books to my classroom. I need a place that will hold my class sets. Giving students another option to sit on is an added bonus.

The bench will make for a great meeting area.

I can hang up the anchor charts we create with the large sticky posters in this area to review information in small groups. The bench will help create a good atmosphere for small group learning.

I can’t wait to see how much my students grow!
