My Project

Creating a classroom of comfort is my ultimate goal for my students. I love giving my students the opportunity to move around the room and work in a space they feel comfortable.

The use of clipboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom and are needed to provide my students an opportunity to work in a comfortable environment.

Dry erase boards will help students stay engaged during lessons and offer me the ability to quickly assess if students are learning the skills being taught. Providing my students with cushioned seating will also give them the opportunity to work in comfort anywhere in the classroom. My classroom also needs an organized drawer system that can hold materials for students to easily access during the day.

By donating it will greatly benefit my students and give them the tools and comfort they need to learn. Each of these tools will be used in the classroom and will help my students with their growth throughout the year. I greatly thank those who donate to my classroom!
