A Focus Wall for 6th Grade Math

Help me give my students an engaging focus wall, and yummy incentives for our Spinner!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ploetzner's classroom raised $986

This project is fully funded

My Project

My 6th grade math classroom could greatly benefit from a new, engaging space for a focus wall. It will be mounted on the back wall and will record the weeks’ objectives and assignments. We are also in need of a mini fridge to store student snacks! Now that the pandemic has passed, I’ve brought back the spinner wheel as our big classroom incentive. Students will earn a spin to win prizes such as the small candies on this project, funny pencils, or stickers for the water bottles. Students loved the spinner pre-Covid, and I’m so excited to bring it back!
