Let’s Make Lunch Bunch Even Better!

Help me give my students tray tables so they can learn in a flexible seating and make lunch bunch even better!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hornstein's classroom raised $170

This project is fully funded

My Project

I would really like to have tray tables in my classroom for many reasons. I host a lunch bunch for struggling students in my class to eat lunch, work on socialization skills, and read books in a book club. These tray tables would help them feel more comfortable and relaxed in my classroom versus the stuff desks they’re in all day.

Additionally, I would really benefit from the flexible seating for my students who would struggle with sitting at a desk.

This gives them another option to achieve their full potential in classroom material and find learning to be more comfortable and exciting.

Finally, I was recently given play dough tools and have no play dough to go with it. I would really appreciate being gifted play dough so that my students can take full advantage of the play dough tools!

If you are able to donate towards my cause, it would be really really appreciated. Thanks for stopping by my post :)
