A Tool For Every Center

Help me give my students clipboards and lapboards, the tools they need to master their center activities. These tools will help my students, especially my lower students, feel a sense of structure with their school work.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Velten's classroom raised $248

My Students

I have a dynamic group of students in my third grade classroom. We have a variety of students from all levels of learners and from all cultural backgrounds. My students all love to learn and are excited to have additional resources to help with their comprehension in all subject areas. As Walt Disney once said, “We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” I always teach my students to ask questions and never give up!

My Project

As my students grab their materials for centers they have found that tools needed to help them in the classroom have been lacking. These tools will offer my students the opportunity to feel comfortable in their work. They won’t have to lay on the floor anymore to accomplish their work. They won’t have to waste paper. I have several students who have special accommodations and I am not always able to meet the needs of my students without the tools they need. These tools will assist them with their work and give each student the chance to be the best learner they can be.
