The 4 bare walls had no bulletin boards or whiteboards. Also the previous teacher took down any and all resources. I basically had 12 desks, all mismatched heights and almost 12 student chairs (some were broken). Although my room is deemed \"small group learning\" I only had one extra table for teaching. My main focus for the fundraising was to get what the kids would need. They love the fidget chairs and do really well with taking turns and sharing. The seat cushions are great to help with minimizing distracting body movement, and the elastic bands on all the chairs allow foot fidgeting all day without loud distracting foot banging. The book boxes add vibrant color and holds their headphones as well as books and reading worksheets. The whiteboard and cork boards , well that really helps this teacher with organizing and displaying important resources. Finally the colorful set of rainbow stacking stools allows me to have seating around the small group table. It was only possible by all of your generous donations!
