Donors Choose-A Place to Sit!

So... I never ask for anything, I usually, like most teachers spend their paychecks on items for their classroom but I figured why not try this great site because I am running out of money fast this summer. AND, this week they are matching dollar for dollar with the promo code INSPIRE when you donate to my classrooms new rug. Now why me, why do I deserve a new rug? First of all it is not for me and would you like to sit on the linoleum? Last year my room or most of it was carpeted so I didn't mind not having a fancy colorful rug but this year most of the room is not carpeted.                                      


Also, since I do not give assigned seat and I am going to try and let the students work where they want to this year it would be nice to have them sit on a rug. Now, I already bought the clipboards, some lap trays, bean bag chairs, and a bench so all I really need is the rug. So please help my deserving students out (just click on Donors Choose Project to check out my page) and following along and glimpse into my world!

For now a few updated photos of my progress in my classroom. The top two pictures are of MOST of my binders. This is the material, books,stations and activities I use for my curriculum.  On the top are the hands on materials I am starting to collect for the units.  The sea of mess you see to the right is actually an improvement and did get a little better before I left. So long for today, I promise to blog about some great organizational ideas I plan to use this year very soon.
