Functional & Organized Classroom!

Help me give my students an organized and functional classroom for the upcoming year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kumari's classroom raised $694

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am in need of binders and binder dividers to get lesson plans, data binders, curriculum binders, leadership binders, parent communication binders, and workstation binders ready and organized for the upcoming year. I am also in need of labels to get parent information folders, student communication folders, tables, cubbies and mailboxes, and other student items labeled for students. It helped the students to identify their items from their friends and runs our classroom smoothly. I am also in need of a classroom mailbox to make sure all the papers that need to be sent home are organized for all the kiddos and also copies for children that are absent are kept secure until they return back to school. Our current mailbox is tearing up and this is the place where I place all their work and papers that need to be sent home at the end of the day.

These classroom supplies will make our classroom more functional and organized for the upcoming year and provide my kiddos with easy access around the room.

Please help me get my classroom ready for the next school year!
