Functional and Comfortable Classroom

Help me give my students liquid floor tiles, floor seats, electric pencil sharpeners, and more items for classroom use.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lim's classroom raised $741

My Project

The basic items, like pencil sharpeners that work, will allow students to have sharpened pencils to use throughout the day for all subjects. Right now, students have to share the one functional sharpener, creating more time taken from their learning. Felt sheets will be used to help create a quiet learning environment, so when students get out of their seats, the scraping on the floor won't be heard while students do their work.

These items will help make our classroom a functional, safe, and comfortable learning environment where students' needs are being met.

The leaf-shaped floor seats will be used in our classroom library to help students feel comfortable when they want to sit and read a book. It matches perfectly with our leafy rug. The liquid floor tiles will add a calming touch to our calming corner. Storage bins will help keep our classroom items in their own space, and the indoor recess games and snacks will definitely make rainy days more fun and enjoyable for my students. Help me make my students feel comfortable while learning!
