Comfort, Decor, and Organization!

Help me give my students comfortable chairs, classroom decorations, and baskets for organization!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gutoskey's classroom raised $711

My Project

In this project we are asking for some comfort items such as fleece blankets and desk chairs. These items will make our classroom comfy and cozy! Sometimes in the winter months, it gets cold in the room and the blankets help to keep students warm so that they can focus on their work. We are also asking for some decorations to help make our classroom feel more homey.

The shelves, baskets, and plants will make our classroom more enjoyable to sit in!

We're also asking for a St. Patrick's Day bean bag toss game that we can use as a review game.
