My Project

I work in a behavior school. We have many students transitioning in and out of our program throughout the year, so a lot of supplies and furniture get worn down and are in need of replacing. I am requesting a set of new headphones for the new school year to help kids when they need to work on a Chromebook, a new beanbag chair for my calming corner, a second bulletin board to display student work, and a few fun decor pieces, putty, and games.

Having these materials will help me refresh my space and create a comfortable and productive learning environment for my students.

Keeping a comfortable space will help them feel welcome in school and keep them focused on reading and learning. Any support given to this project will be greatly appreciated!

Grades 6-8
