I made this campaign to prepare for the upcoming school year. I created a project of a class set of book bins to help students organize their materials that they will receive with our new literacy curriculum. Students will have 3 literacy workbooks including their journal and their math book to store. In kindergarten we use tables and not desks and these book bins will help each student stay organized. Students will also be able to keep their unfinished work in these bins as well as their chrome book headphones. Any extra book bins will be used to store and organize assessment materials and curriculum that the teacher receives.","fullyFundedDate":1769188372042,"projectUrl":"project/book-bins-for-organization/10047935/","projectTitle":"Book Bins for Organization","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Persons","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8436729_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693798539281","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/madisonpersons"},{"teacherId":8436729,"projectId":9988996,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation toward our classroom.

My kindergarten students love to be able to do their work in other areas of the room besides at their desks. Sometimes they just need more space and in a class of 31 students, space is not easy to come by.\r\n Clipboards are also a necessity during small group time. We do our small groups at the carpet. It is impossible to work with pencils and paper on carpet with your pencil going through your paper. Since kindergartener are still working hard to form letters correctly they need a solid surface to work on. Having students use clipboards to complete work gives them that hard surface and allows them to complete their work without getting frustrated or putting holes in their papers.\r\n The clipboard stands help us have a place to keep our clipboards and help keep our room tidy.","fullyFundedDate":1762747653484,"projectUrl":"project/i-can-work-anywhere/9867819/","projectTitle":"I Can Work Anywhere","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Casian","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1151660_orig.jpg?crop=819,819,x819,y833&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739987511899","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1151660"},{"teacherId":1151660,"projectId":9765783,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation toward books and stuffies to support the emotional growth of my kindergarteners.\r\n The Spot of Emotion books are a fun way to teach students about their emotions.
