Mrs. Van Valkenburg’s Classroom Edit display name

https://www.donorschoose.org/classroom/7036380 Customize URL

My students have a wide range of abilities and an even wider range of learning styles. My students are still learning how to sit and need a high level of interaction to stay focused and learning. I am constantly trying new learning styles and working on making my teaching more fun! With the start of the NEW year, I want to revamp my classroom by bringing in NEW tactile ways to learn. My class is young and we love to explore with touching everything. With these donations, I will create fun sensory learning bins for my students to discover. My students also frequently use computers for reading programs and other activities, but the lack of headphones in my class can be distracting to everyone else. The headphones will help my students learn in a quieter and less distracting environment. Additional classroom supplies will help me organize my classroom and provide resources to all my students.
