Mrs. Schroeder from Appleton WI is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Break Out of the Learning Box!

Help me give my students the tools to be creative with their learning! New copies of The Outsiders will give students the ability to take the story with them. Breakout EDU will make learning grammar fun!

My Project

I try my best to make my class fun and engaging for all students. By adding these items, the students will have different ways to be engaged in class and "Breakout [EDU]" of the same old classroom activities.

With Breakout EDU, students will practice grammar, spelling, and vocabulary concepts in a fun and competitive new way.

A new class set of The Outsiders will give students the opportunity to read at their own pace. With The Outsiders, we do many fun activities, and I hope to utilize all of the other classroom products to engage students with this book!

The whiteboards will give students the chance to do word races and play Jeopardy about what we're learning. My middle schoolers love expressing themselves through art, so being able to add more markers and art supplies to my room would help all of my students.
