Better Discussions and Clearer Presentations

Help me give my students a class microphone and some comfy seating! They love to share their thoughts, and a microphone would help their peers hear them better! The cushions will help make a more enjoyable learning environment!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gartner's classroom raised $324

My Students

My students love coming to school and participating in engaging lessons and activities. One thing I really love about them is how much they participate in discussions. I have so many students who answer questions and share ideas and it makes for a very learning filled environment.

My students love to work together to solve problems and are great friends to each other.

We are having a great year so far! We would love a few materials to make our classroom even better!

My Project

My class loves to share their thoughts during discussions and I provide many opportunities for them to come to the front of the class to share how they solved a problem or their thoughts on something. While I am helping my students to learn to speak louder, having a wireless microphone would help the other students to understand the presenter better and this will help make our presentations and discussions even more meaningful. My students would also love to have cushions to put on their chairs and bring with them when we go to assemblies when they have to sit on the floor.

Having these items will really help our class environment be better by helping the students focus!

They will be able to hear the speaker better, and not be focused on how uncomfortable their chair is!
