Ms. Cindy from Tinton Falls NJ is requesting reading nooks, desks & storage through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Tiny Space but Big Hearts!

Help me give my students sensory input, storage space, and manipulatives. They could each have their own kit for dough, their own book bin, and storage for our new items. Thank you!

My Project

We are a multi-grade room with students with different needs. The group of 5 is fantastic, caring, and enthusiastic to learn! Our classroom was moved this school year to a smaller space. We are working hard to be creative in keeping our room cozy without crowding the space.

We have a daily mindfulness break and a few brain breaks during the day.

We are hoping for more hands-on activities, fidgets, and sensory items to help with these breaks during the day.

Also, the help with storage that is functional while being on the smaller size would be a bonus! Thank you in advance.

Grades 3-5
