My Project

I love offering my students flexible seating options to choose from. I have found that they learn best when they are in control of their environment. I recently added 10 lap desks to our collection. My students absolutely love them, but have quickly learned that the seat part of the desk is not the most comfortable. Please help me get the cushions that go with the lap desks! This will allow them to use them everyday and everywhere without getting uncomfortable.

I am a huge believer in hands-on materials within the classroom.

Please help me get them new math tools- 100s charts, pop-it number lines, and so much more. Each child needs different things, so I really want to provide them with various different options that are fun and helpful with their mastery of the topic.
