My Project

After moving from classroom to classroom, next year I will *hopefully* have a long term classroom home. I am hoping to make this an inviting space for my students to grow and learn.

For this reason, I am asking for classroom shelving benches to store out games and materials and a rug to use for students to read and relax.

I believe both these items will help me to make our classroom a place them love to come and learn!

Thank you for helping make this dream a reality for my amazing students.

Grades 3-5
