Best Year Yet!

Help me give my students recess items and games to have an amazing year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fanning's classroom raised $571

My Project

My students are energetic, curious, and hardworking! We are starting the year off strong by building a strong, safe community of learners. With your help, we could use some important items to make the year even better.

These sturdy headphones will assist students when students are working on reading and math programs while I teach a small group at the rug.

The jump ropes are always a favorite during recess time! On rainy or snowy days, the card games and board games will keep students entertained while also promoting their social skills. The Picasso tiles, playdoh, and brain flakes are great toys that enhance creativity and problem solving skills. The storage cart will be so helpful with organizing the classroom speakers and art materials. Finally, our pencil sharpener was just broken so a new one is desperately needed! Thank you in advance for your generosity!
