Ms. Darnell's classroom raised $295

Modern Classroom Project for Exceptional Children

Help me give my students whiteboards, name labels for small groups, card stock to replace/reuse the magnetic label holder, and tape to block areas of the room off for social-emotional learning.

Ms. Darnell Ridge Road Middle School
Charlotte, NC Grades 6-8

My Project

My goal is to empower exceptional children who attend a Title I historically underfunded classroom to take responsibility for their learning process and outcomes by creating a self-paced classroom. I plan to do this by creating lesson trackers on the magnetic whiteboard where they can move their name to the next step in the lesson and see their own progress towards lesson completion. I challenge my students regardless of their unique learning styles and disabilities.

Please help me create my Modern Exceptional Children's Classroom that focuses on student empowerment and self-pacing.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
