Alternate Seating and Classroom Supplies

My students need alternate seating to make their classroom feel like a comfortable learning environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Niedrist's classroom raised $187

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 Students

My students enter my classroom ready to take on the day. They leave all their worries behind and continue to have a smile on their faces. They love to write creative stories and read all of the new books that were given to us.

My students are a community of learners inside of the classroom and my wish is for them to continue learn to adapt in the real world.

They all learn new things in a different way. I am so proud of how far they have come and can't want to witness their continuous growth.

My Project

Many supplies are needed to successfully run a classroom. Hallway passes will help to keep control in the hallways. The dry-erase markers will be used with the dry erase pockets during Independent center time.

My students love to lay on the carpet to read.

They look so uncomfortable at times so I would like them to have pillows to lean on. Who doesn't love emoji pillows? A lot of our classroom chairs were thrown out last year because of them cracking in the seat area. The stools will help to have comfortable seating around our small group table. The colors will look great against our white walls in the classroom.
