Help me give my students a refresh on their Social Emotional Learning Room!

My Project

My students need a refresh in our SEL classroom. We are looking to get some help refreshing our tools and supplies. Chalk, markers, and other classroom tools that get old over time. We also need some new bean bag chairs as all of ours broke. The kids love them, especially when they are having a tough time and need to lie down to take a break. Getting tools like this will better help our kids when they are experiencing emotional struggles. These items will enrich our Social Emotional Learning Program at Macdonough.
