My Project

I plan on maximizing the space in our small classroom and making it comfortable for students. I want them to feel more at home and feel excited to come to school each day. I want school to be their safe place. I believe having these items will accomplish that!

The rotating bookshelf will free up space and make it easier for my third graders to look for different books they want to read without bending down.

The cubby shelves will be used to set a clear expectation with supplies and make it more accessible for students to grab their supplies for each subject.

The Mr. Sketch markers are always a hit because the students love a good-smelling smiley face on any assignment!

The other supplies such as the organizing cart will also help to create a system in our classroom to help students get in a routine and feel like they know what to expect each day, even if I am not there!

I am so excited for next year and am very thankful for any donations we get! My students next year are very sweet and big-hearted. I would love to give them the best year ever next year!
