Classroom Refresh

Help me give my students a refresh in our classroom. Some of our items are aged, broken, or have missing parts. The Stacking Beehives is one of their favorites, but most of the bees have been misplaced.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Smith's classroom raised $168

My Project

The students in my classroom spend a lot of time using manipulatives, which helps to build the fine motor muscle strength in their small hands. This is a must for successful writing in the future.

Some of the favorite items in our classroom are the stacking bees and the writing tablets.

They enjoy them so much that the ones we have are just about worn out and are missing parts.

Refreshed items will encourage the students to continue staying busy with their hands to increase their muscle strength and work toward future success.
