Hands-On Learning and Flexible Seating for the Resource Room

Help me give my students hands-on learning materials, storage, and flexible seating.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Karlsrud's classroom raised $956

My Project

My students come into my classroom for additional support in reading, writing, and math. My students would benefit from having somewhere to store their work and a place to sit that accommodates their moving bodies. Since the pandemic, we have been working hard to catch up our students on lost instruction and help them feel successful in their classroom. I would like to be able to provide them with flexible seating and hands-on materials to help support their special needs.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention, but you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement in my room and their general education classroom.

My hope is to help students begin to learn that reading is fun through hands-on reading materials and games.
