The Buzzing is LOUD!

Help me give my students tools to organize our space and quiet the noise.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Calbero's Honeybees's classroom raised $746

My Project

Everyone knows a well-organized classroom not only promotes a more efficient learning environment but also contributes to a calmer and more focused atmosphere for students. My first graders are happy, eager learners. However, sometimes the buzzing gets a little loud especially when we start moving around into small groups. We are still learning to be aware of others and how to manage our space.

Please help my classroom with chair leg covers to reduce the noise levels in the classroom and minimize distractions.

We also request chair pockets as a convenient and accessible storage solution for individual student supplies and know that it will go a long way in keeping the class looking neat and inviting. Help us to organize our space, clean the clutter, and minimize distractions.
