First Year Teacher Needs Everything for 5th Grade

Help me give my students what they need for 5th grade in a classroom with no storage. Childcraft bookshelves will help organize our space and make it fun to select a wide range of books.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Halverson's classroom raised $7,212

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students come from one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in all of Seattle. They are eager to learn and love books, so these shelves and book selections will help them always find a just-right book to read and enjoy, as well as challenge themselves as they grow skill and confidence. We are building community and restorative practices, so the carpet gives us a meeting spot to talk about our day and solve problems. Storage and desk materials help us stay organized in our classroom, which has no built-in storage.
