Wish Delivered: Classroom Set-up
Teacher Andrea Hemmert says “These items will help me because I am a first year teaching. The teacher that was before me left a lot of old (and I mean from the 80's old) things that are not relevant to my students now. I would love to have all these items, especially the easel and the paper organizer the most because I need something to put my big books on, and the paper organizer will give my students a place to put their finished work in."
