Free Things for Your Classroom!

Who doesn't love free stuff!  We all know when it comes to our classroom that teachers spend an extreme amount of money.  I would be terrified if I added up the amount.  Recently in switching my room to flexible seating, I came across something I knew would benefit my kiddos that there was just no way I could afford.

I initially had those $5 Ikea stools which after many broken ones became $5 stools from 5 and below.  Although my kids loved the stools, they still were constantly tipping or wiggling in them.  I knew I needed a better solution.  Hokki stools - have you seen them?  They are amazing.  Helps the littles get the wiggles out while still being able to concentrate.  I have to be honest...I concentrate better on them.  They are so sturdy too!  As wonderful as they are, they are also way out of my price range.



I had seen a few teaching blogs that mentioned Donors Choose but I hadn't truly looked into them.  I decided this was the time.  Let me tell you...you NEED to do it!  It was so simple.  And so fast!  I was amazed at how many people want to help donate to your classroom.  My projects was filled within a week!  We now have 5 Hokki stools for our reading area.  The kids wish they had them for their actual seats too!  I will most definitely be using Donors Choose in the future.  I suggest you do too!

We do not have to become broke furnishing our classrooms!  :)
