My students are the best! I want them to feel at home and comfortable in my classroom. The items I am asking for are for small group time. The chairs are for the reading group and the ear phones are for working on their I - Ready lessons on the I pads. Won’t you help my students please! They love small group time and l want them to have all the materials they need to succeed. They are young enthusiastic students who love learning! They need all the support they can get! Please help these wonderful children.
