The Bear Necessities!

Help me give my students a classroom that is organized and fully stocked with daily essentials that are needed to be successful throughout the school day.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Leitch's classroom raised $1,186

My Project

My students are zany and full of life! Both their curiosity and resilience is inspiring!

Every teacher strives to have a classroom that is neat, organized, and easy to navigate for students of all different abilities.

The materials requested will help us to be as efficient as we can be throughout the school day

The chart paper will help to create vibrant anchor charts to reinforce lessons learned, as well as give an entry point for our visual learners.

The flex seats will provide a comfortable searing alternative for those students who may be uncomfortable in the traditional school chairs.

I am building a classroom that serves as a home away from home during the school day.
