Classroom Final Touches

Help me give my students an organized, bright classroom that they deserve, they will appreciate this more than you know!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Riggs's classroom raised $181

My Project

Hello and welcome to room 128! Our classroom has been needing a few extra items to make it more organized and you could really help us out!

My class would love to have a bean bag chair for a calming corner so they can relax and take 5 minutes to themselves to help them control their emotions (wether their sad/angry or frustrated).

We also as a class voted that led lights would be a fun addition to our classroom for Fun Fridays. I think this could be a really cool incentive for the kids to pick which color lights they will be doing their learning in!

Lastly, we also would love to become more organized and could used zip pouches and a classroom digital clock. I am teaching my students to be responsible for their own materials, so the zip pouches would store their headphones they use on their iPads. This will teach my students to keep track of their own things and use them appropriately so they don't break them. We also need a digital clock in our room because our clock is always breaking! We can't thank you enough already!
