Have Tools, Will Travel

Help me give my students easy access to learning materials as I travel from room to room. The mobile cart and organizer, file folders, and three ring binders will keep learning materials organized and easily accessible.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Schaffner's classroom raised $175

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are Kindergarten and second-grade students in a high-needs school district. They are excited about school and learning! Unfortunately, school budgets do not always make it possible for me to provide the materials and experiences to let my students soar.

Help me make this their best year ever!

The supplies, projects, and special trips that can be provided for my children through DonorsChoose.org will make this year the best it can be. I thank you in advance for your help.

My Project

This year I will be serving students in two different classrooms for small group remediation and enrichment. To do this, I will have to travel between classrooms with learning materials. The biggest challenge is how to best transport what the students need?

Help me fit a days worth of learning into one cart!

The cart and organizer will help to transport materials from room to room. The hanging file, file folders, and three ring binders will help students easily find and continue the work that they are doing with me . With the papers organized, there will be plenty of room to bring math manipulatives, reading books and supplies like crayons, pencils, and scissors too! It will be almost like a classroom on wheels.
