Spring Cleaning & Learning!

Help me give my students a clean and productive work space and snacks for their hungry brains!

My Project

This project will help us give our hungry little learners some brain fuel and a productive, clean space!! It is very hard for children to listen, learn, or sit still when they are focused on their hungry bellies. Evenmore, at ages 5-10, they may not even realize that hunger is the problem. It is amazing how many "behavior issues" can be solved with a snack, because the root of the problem was hunger.

We are spring cleaning to get rid of the winter germs, and making our work space more productive!

My coworker and I have created a very welcoming and calm student services space that provides many options for regulation, including kinetic sand (which really needs replacing!). It has also become a place for kids to complete work, or take tests, in a quiet environment. The white board would allow us to help reteach in a more productive way.

Thank you for your help with this project! Your donations ALWAYS make a positive impact for my students! We appreciate you!
