My Project

My 3rd grade students come from all over Sarasota county. They would love flexible seating while reading our novel studies in the classroom. The floor pillows and wobble chairs help some kids focus better. We would also really appreciate a full set of books of our next novel study. Each student can follow along and refer back to the book when answering comprehension and vocabulary questions. Writing is a big deal in 3rd grade too!They would love to organize their writing work in binders. They also could use printer paper to type out their final masterpieces. Thank you!
