An Organized Comfortable Classroom

Help me give my students a more organized classroom and comfy flexible seating to maximize focus and learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Newsham's classroom raised $612

This project is fully funded

My Project

The products I selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options in the classroom. My students love flexible seating and utilize it often. We are a 1:1 technology campus and the need for headphones is big in my classroom. About half of my students do not have working headphones. We use them daily and my class will get so much use out of new ones!

A bean bag chair will give them a place to land when they want to work, read, or just regroup and relax and the cube shelf will create a home to store books and games.

I have already learned my students love playing games and we need more like connect 4!

Is there ever such a thing as too many books? I don't think so! I am excited to add some new titles and some classics I grew up reading.
