Help me give my students a cushion, sticky notes, flags and markers for learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Kargol's classroom raised $160

My Students

Our school is in a large metropolis with many of the same challenges facing other cities this size. As teachers, we're sensitive to the fact that many of our students struggle to get their basic needs met. All students at our school receive free breakfast and lunch. Each year our school has more students who are homeless. Most of our students come to school carrying the heavy load of some kind of significant trauma.

Our class is a self-contained, special education behavior unit.

We have great kids! We just need a little extra help. Our classroom is a safe environment designed to help us focus and learn.

My Project

I am requesting a cushion for students to sit on when working on the floor. This will be a nice alternative to sitting at the desk. Students will be able to move the cushion to an area of the room where they want to work.

The markers will be used to put names on student materials.

The post-it notes, post-it flags and sticky notes will be used to label student materials and for a quick note home. The singing bowl will be used to get students' attention when we gather on the carpet. The stencils will be used for students to explore and experiment with during work time.

Please help bring this project to life.
