My Project

My classroom is made up of students that live in a high needs, high poverty area. I am hoping to get bean bag reading chairs for my classroom and Tabletop Drying Rack, Super Sticky Easel Pad, Gears! Gears! Gears! 100-Piece Deluxe Building Set and more. I am asking for social emotional materials. In the last two years children are coming in more and more with big emotions and I have to get the tools to teach them regulate emotions. One of the things I am wanting for my class are stem materials for students to use in the classroom. My classroom happens to be the first time many of my students have had access to education.
