My Project

As we come to the final 3-4 months of school, we are still pushing strong in the classroom to learn academics and social/emotional skills. However, because of the late time in the year, we also find ourselves low on classroom snacks, sensory supplies are used up, new little spot SEL books are lowering in numbers, and the kids really want more high interest literature.

This project will supply the students with more requested Pete the Cat books, snacks that have run out, more Little Spot SEL exploration literature, and new/refreshed sensory materials to keep hands calm and minds busy!

Thanks again for reading this far - and considering our classroom for your donation. The experience of all scholars has been greatly heightened due to the donations received from this platform. So from all of us, thank you so much!

Mr. Colton
Grades 3-5
