An Organized And Fun Classroom!

Help me give my students a comfortable and fun learning environment where they can learn social/emotional skills and a way to keep our private documents and assessments secure and safe!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Richey's classroom raised $998

My Project

With the Pandemic beginning in 2020, my students never got to experience Pre-School or Pre-K and have never had a "Normal" school year. They also lack severely in areas of social/emotional development, creativity, and imagination.

I would like to supply my students with a variety of play items to help strengthen their creativity and social skills while allowing them to express their thoughts and emotions.

Along with these items, they will need appropriate storage and shelving for displaying and organizing their play items. As a teacher, my job involves a lot of documentation and the filing of private student information and electronic assessment items. A locking file cabinet would be ideal for keeping such things safe and secure in my classroom.
