This cart allows 2 students at a time to put their Chromebooks away. This cart also takes up very little space in the classroom.

Tables that earn points for behavior have also benefitted from all of the sweet treats and little toys. They are extremely excited when they get their chance to pick a prize.\r\n\r\nWe had SO many prizes that we still have some left to use at the beginning of this school year.

My students thrive independently in my classroom because they have the necessary tools to do so.\r\nSince these items were given to me before the year started, my students had no immediate reaction, however, the parents were very thankful there child would have the necessary resources to succeed. In my classroom, students use Chromebooks every day and some come to school without headphones. I got a class set for the students so they can use sound during this time. I also asked for organized drawers and this helps keep things together for their centers! In Kindergarten, we start centers a little later, however, I can now very excited to have them start their centers in an organized manner thanks to you!\r\n\r\nI am forever grateful for your donation.
