Finding Your Space In the Classroom

Help me give my students privacy boards, a Classroom Keepers Mailbox, and At-Your-Seat Storage Sacks to have a place to organize their things!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fong's classroom raised $919

My Project

Hello! I am a first-year first grade teacher working in a Title I school so any help is appreciated! The glue and pencil grips are extra supplies for the students who might not have them. The modeling compound would be really helpful for both art and science.

The mailbox, classroom pockets, and erasable pockets will organize my room and create a more engaging classroom.

Currently, I always forget to hand out important memos and even homework! I think having a mailbox would help a lot. I use a lot of paper, so, hopefully, I can make some erasable worksheets using the erasable pockets.

My classroom has tables, not desks. My kids don't have easy access to all their materials! I think it would be a lot easier for them to get their things if we had something like the Regular At-Your-Seat Storage Sacks.

Lastly, I think that the privacy board dividers would be helpful for when we are taking tests.

Thank you for your consideration!
