Ms. Layh's 7th Grade Classroom!

Help me give my students an amazing year! My 7th graders are an amazing, hardworking group. Please help me get classroom essentials like shelves for their backpacks. Your help is greatly appreciated!

My Project

I will be able to use the rolling teacher desk to teach from various places in my room. I will use the bookshelf so students have a safe place to put their backpacks. I will use the books to have a wonderful library where my ELA students can grow their reading comprehension skills. I will use the clicker to be able to teach from all over the room, instead of being glued to the front. I will use the rolling organizer to remain organized when grading.

I am so thankful for any help in this endeavor!
