Organized Classrooms Enhance Learning

My students need some bookcases to store all their incredible books and brand new STEM toys.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Weinberg's classroom raised $917

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students come from many different backgrounds and come to me with very different experiences. They speak many different languages and have very different educational needs. They come from different kinds of families and different living situations.

My students are coming to school for the first time.

These three to five year olds are eager to learn and engage with their peers. The best part of working with my students is that they all accept and love each other regardless of all their differences.

My Project

I am requesting two different bookcases to help organize our classroom library and to display our new STEM toys in the science area. These bookcases will help the preschool students to be better able to access all of the interesting books and explore science materials independently.

When a classroom is set up to truly engage the students it can act as the second teacher.

These bookcases will ensure that the preschoolers can easily reach all of the materials for exploration as well as easy clean up. Please help us make our classroom organized so that we can learn independence and explore freely.
