Help Make learning Fun, with the Necessary Materials

Help me give my students a comfortable place to read and chairs for small groups.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Finley's classroom raised $883

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These items will help me organize my classroom and allow my students to feel more comfortable in knowing if their teacher is prepared. We need a comfortable place to read so my students will read more and feel relaxed while they are engaging with different text. I also would like to organize the classroom so each student knows where things belong. I would also like to label each child’s belongings and organize our classroom. I’m a new teacher so my classroom doesn’t offer much. I really want to push my students to read and enjoy reading. The only way I can push this is by making our reading area a less stressful environment and more comfortable with flexible seating. My students are very eager to learn and I want to provide them the opportunity with every resource that is offered. I thank you all may God bless you.
