Things Are Heating Up in Our Math Class!

Help me give my students a comfortable classroom. We are in need of soft lighting to replace the harsh, hot fluorescents above. I am also in great need of a safety block out curtain for our classroom door.

My Project

Please help me provide a comfortable room for my students. Our room is in great need of soft lighting. We are heating up from our bright, hot fluorescent lights above. Therefore, I am asking for small lamps I can scatter around our room.

We have also depleted our supply of rewards, wipes, and dry erase markers.

Your help to replenish our classroom supplies would be much appreciated.

I am mostly concerned and asking for your help for a safety block out curtain for my classroom door. Please lend us a hand. Thank you so very much!

Grades 3-5
