Fresh Start for Fall

Help me give my students new seating and other items for a classroom refresh!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Smith's classroom raised $437

This project is fully funded

My Project

I want to give my students chairs, rugs and mats to create flexible seating and learning spaces for our new school year. My students participate in many small group activities as well as Speech Therapy and OT and our classroom needs to have spaces and furniture that can be used in many ways.

These items will help make my classroom welcoming as well as functional for our new students!

I'll be able to create spaces for small group work, reading and table work and practicing self-regulation skills. We're looking forward to welcoming students to an amazing space for a great school year!
