Tools To Create an Effective Classroom

Help me give my students a classroom mailbox to create a more organized area to pass out assignments, homework, and important documents, bulletin board paper, an electric pencil sharpener, and other supplies for a classroom that has tools to help them succeed.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tran's classroom raised $746

My Project

Our classroom needs some upgrades to our class tools. Our pencil sharpener recently broke because students were sharpening their colored pencils which caused it to jam. We need new magnet clips because our magnet clips hold down our chart paper, and the ones we currently have are not strong and blow off easily which causes chaos with the students. We are also in need of a new mail box because our current system causes papers to be everywhere. Having a classroom mailbox will help students become more independent.

All of the requested items will help our classroom be more efficient.

My goal is to help students become more independent, and I believe most of the items in the this project will help with that. My students are kindergarteners who are learning to exist in this world, and having these small changes in our classroom will help.
