Mrs. Kachelries's classroom raised $1,557

Moving to 4th Grade!

Help me give my students an amazing 4th grade math and science classroom! The headphones will help create a quiet environment for learning and testing.

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am switching classrooms, districts, and grades for the next school year! I am very excited to be back in my home district! I am moving from 1st grade to 4th grade math/science, which means I need to set up a brand new classroom with a different age and subject. This will only be my second year teaching, so I have not accumulated very many items that are necessary to make the best classroom possible for my students! I appreciate any and all support!!

My goal for this project is to create the most welcoming and useful classroom possible for my new 4th-grade students in my new room and district!

Students will use the headphone to create a quiet learning environment. The magnetic hooks, board shelves, label maker, and posters will be used to create a warm inviting classroom where learning will be our #1 priority!
