Key Classroom Supplies for Success!

Help me give my students classroom supplies, snacks, and flexible seating! I have many students who struggle with sitting still. By providing them with the starfish yoga ball, my students will be able to focus on their work.

My Project

The items listed will help address the 3 reoccurring needs in my classroom: snacks, materials, and flexible seating. I have multiple students who struggle with sitting still in a traditional chair. By providing them with flexible seating options, it will enable them to stay focus while expelling their excess energy.

The snacks help my students stay focus as everyday I have at least three students asking for snacks because they are hungry.

By providing them food, the students will be able to concentrate in class rather than falling asleep.

Lastly, the supplies listed are what my students need to succeed. Many of them come to school lacking basic supplies such as folders and pencils which are necessary for their success in the classroom. As we prepare for our novel study, we need 2 extra copies and the literary companion to help develop and create a well-rounded curriculum that address the learning outcomes in the classroom.
