Help me give my students hands-on manipulatives, like the magnetic building set, to develop critical and creative thinking skills. The seating options will create a flexible space that reflects the innovative learning styles and interests of our kiddos!
I teach at a Title I elementary school in Wilmington, NC that serves over 400 students. We are a neighborhood school that reflects and celebrates the socio-economic, ethnic, and academic diversity evident in our community. I am fortunate to work with every student in grades K-5, developing critical thinking skills and nurturing talent in all students. I am passionate about preparing our students to be engaged learners and leaders today and in the future. I strive to leverage technology to amplify and accelerate classroom learning.
My Project
Please help me support the development of innovative, future-ready students! The materials requested in this DonorsChoose project are designed to do two overarching things:
1.
The hands-on manipulatives, such as the Magnetic Building tools, were selected to develop an interest in and build capacity with STEM skills at the elementary level. In addition, through active explorations, students will develop important skills such as critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, perseverance, and collaboration.
2. In order to develop future-ready, enthusiastic learners, we must create innovative learning spaces that reflect our rapidly changing world. The flexible seating options (floor seats) requested are designed to inspire student learning and support their diverse learning interests and needs.
DonorsChoose is the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
As a teacher-founded nonprofit, we're trusted by thousands of teachers and supporters across the country. This classroom request for funding was created by Mrs. Howe and reviewed by the DonorsChoose team.
