Classroom Restock

Help me give my students fidgets and school supplies to make this new school year great!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gentile's classroom raised $266

My Project

With the new school year coming up, my classroom is in need of some items restocked to meet students' academic and social-emotional needs. With many new students coming into our program, I am always in need of new folders to help them keep their work organized. My classroom could also use a set of new highlighters to help students with identifying key details as we read in ELA.

The cozy spaces in my classroom, which students frequently use to keep them focused as we read, are also in need of a restock.

Two of my bean bags are losing shape and need to be refilled. I also have a strand of string lights that burnt out and I am looking to replace to create a calm, welcoming ambiance for my students. Finally, I am in need of some new tubs of thinking putty and fidgets to keep students occupied during lessons.

I appreciate any support you are able to give to my classroom and my students!
