My Besties' Classroom

Help me give my students storage containers so they have more room in their classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Knowles's classroom raised $1,137

My Project

My students will benefit from this project because they need more room! They need to be able to make this space their own. I’m not a type A teacher. These containers will help me organize which in turn create space for my besties. At the end of each school year, I declutter. If I have not used it all year, materials are gone. When I declutter this year, I want to organize my manipulatives, books, and centers by month. This will make room in my classroom for my besties. It is their classroom. I just work here.

Decluttering is a must in classrooms.

To go with that theme, I would like to replace my bulky desk with a rolling desk. This desk rolls, can adjust to stand or sit, and it is dry erase. The dry erase sold me. I can hold small groups at their table or easily show a correction. Small group time is very critical for kindergarten. Have a rolling desk will benefit them because I can go directly to their table and show them a shortened version of the lesson, quickly. Time is of the essence!

My students take pride in their classroom. It is their school home. I would also like to provide them with cleaning supplies, such as Clorox wipes and baby

wipes. A clean classroom is a happy classroom.
