My Project

This is my second year teaching and I have found that I need a few organizational items and essential items to make my students more successful. I have included some organizational items such as shelves and bins that will be used for turning assignments in, keeping every day books in, and storing curriculum books.

In addition to organizational furniture, I have also included some essentials for my students such as math games and sensory items.

The games will help students during math groups/rotations to have math games available. The sensory items will allow students to have a tool to focus and work on successful learning behaviors.

Thank you for looking at my classroom requests. I am thankful for the support given from donors choose and I am excited to share my student's new math area and organized classroom. Thank you!
