Organized and Ready to Learn!

Help me give my students a classroom environment that is organized and focused on Social Emotional Learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kerber's classroom raised $500

This project is fully funded

My Project

Organized classrooms provide students with a sense of calm. Tools such as storage bins, allow for materials to be appropriately organized, which in return allows for students to easily know where their learning materials are. Creating a learning environment that is organized and Social Emotional Learning focused is a focal point for this upcoming school year.

My students deserve access to materials that will help them regulate themselves, as well as help keep our classroom environment organized.

The materials detailed in this Donor's Choose will help students develop lifelong skills.

Mrs. Kerber Brennemann Elementary School Grades 6-8
