Odds and Ends

Help me give my students stuffing for our bean bags, cardstock for activities, and other odds and ends needed.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Menard's classroom raised $213

My Project

Our Big Joe bean bags are two of the favorite spots in our first grade classroom. They have recently gone a little flat and we are in need of some new stuffing to make them comfy again. We are in need of the cardstock to finish up many activities we have left to complete and an extra pack to start the next school year off with. The hefty two gallon bags always come in handy when we are needing something a little bigger to store classroom items in.

Supplies are always needing to be replaced in our first grade classroom.

The Gilbert books are one of our new favorite book series. We love him.

Our classroom rug is always sliding around on the floor so the grips for the carpet will help to keep it in one place.
