Classroom Organization and Sensory Items

Help me give my students an organized classroom, and sensory items for our sensory corner.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tamara's classroom raised $252

My Project

I'd like to get some organizational items to make our fully self contained classroom well organized and managed. I also would like to provide some sensory items to make our sensory area more robust. My students have loved having a sensory area to explore during our day and have especially enjoyed playing with playdoh and other sensory items. Because our classroom is small it is essential that I am able to organize each item in my room to make the most of our space and allow my students to thrive.
