The Wild Robot & Other Random Needs

Help me give my students a fun functioning classroom with books to read in clean comfy areas.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Smestad's classroom raised $281

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our classroom is in need of the Wild Robot book set so that each year that I teach I don't have to keep checking it out from the library. The pillow is a funny addition to the order that plays on the way students talk to each other (and teachers) as well as the importance of showing their work when doing math. This class loves art and our older set of paint markers are drying out. Lastly, our school has run out of disinfecting wipes and so our classroom needs more so that we can remain clean and as germ-free as possible.
