Learning made more comfortable!

Help me give my students items like chair pockets and pencil holders for some tools to make learning easier. The light covers will take the glare away while the students work.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Peters's classroom raised $692

My Project

The specific items I am ordering will help my students feel much more comfortable as they are learning. My students are great kids and really enjoy learning. However, they do have a few needs as all students have.

The light covers will help to dim the bright lights so it makes the ability to see and read much more easily without hurting their eyes.

The chair pockets will help students keep their school supplies better organized. Trying to put everything they have in their desks makes it very crowded. The pencil grips as well as the pencil holders will help my students keep things more organized while they are learning and help them to grip their pencils correctly in order to form the letters neatly. The chair bands will help my fidgity students find a simple way to keep themselves calm. Finally, the clear circles help when we are playing Bingo for sight words, math, and number awareness.

Of course, we always want to reward students. The small items and stickers put smiles on their faces every day.
