Bright and New!

Help me give my students voice recording buzzers, cork strips, name tags, and other materials for a bright, organized, and inviting environment for the beginning of the school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Toner's classroom raised $363

My Project

A new school year is quickly approaching, and that means creating a new and inviting environment where my students feel welcomed and engaged.

Name tags for each student and their desks, labels to put each student's name on their cubbies or belongings, and a mini magnetic board of their own will have students excited for the new year.

The large number of mini voice recording buttons will help with recording directions for centers. I will also hang them on our new required sound walls. These will encourage students to work independently and learn on their own, especially those who need directions repeated multiple times or need additional support learning sounds and words.

Last, the cork board strips will allow me to hang signs around the room or, even better, hang student work. Whatever I hang will encourage an inviting and informative environment!
