Flexible Seating and Daily Essentials

Help me give my students flexible seating options, books for reading, daily tools for practicing their phonics, and chart paper for anchor charts.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Schaefer's classroom raised $726

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are predominantly military dependents with parents who are faced with multiple deployments throughout the year.

These hands-on tools will enhance the students’ learning experiences by providing a visual of the reading and math skills they are learning and with flexible seating.

As for our reading resources, the phonics resources will help support my students who need more support with their spelling skills which will enhance their love for reading. The daily tools like a pencil sharpener and paper cutter will help me to have pencils sharpened every day and a paper cutter for me to prepare notes or work notes for their notebooks.

Please help me provide these tools for my students as we become stronger readers and mathematicians!
