Time for a Refresh in 5th Grade

Help me give my students a refresh to our classroom library and games, a way to store our classroom book sets, and a sensory mat to help with "cool down" as needed!

My Project

My students love having the ability to really "relax" in our classroom - which typically means we have a lot going on! I would love to provide my students with better organization opportunities for our class book sets (which is a great life skill to shape, as well!), as well as a few odds and ends for our library and games that will help to refresh our classroom.

I would love to be able to provide my students with better organization options, a refresh to our classroom library, and sensory mats to help students with their emotions within our classroom.

With the purchase of an organizational system of storage, my students will be able to locate the book series with more ease, find similar books and authors, and provide a better system of storage that will help with the overall library! I included a new book series in this project, The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flammel, as well as a few additions to current book series that we have in the classroom. I also included sensory mats to put in our "cool down" area for the students that need a little extra help controlling their actions.

My project truly is an opportunity to refresh the classroom for the end of the year, and provide the students with a little bit more excitement to finish out their career in elementary school!
