Building a Fun First Grade Classroom

Help me give my students a fun classroom library for my first graders to get excited about reading. Not to mention more flexible seating and fidget toys for students who need to wiggle.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Teeples's classroom raised $998

My Students

I am grateful to enter the profession of my dreams for the first time this year, and to work with a group of outstanding young individuals. Each of my students is unique and all add to the beautiful blend of people in our classroom. We work together as a team to learn through engagement in content and activities. We also support each other through everyday successes and failures.

My Project

Flexible seating will help students who struggle with holding still for long periods of time. Allowing students the opportunity to move will help attention in the classroom. I also added a book set that talked about different emotions so students will be able to relate their feelings to the characters in the books and understand how to deal with those feelings.

Another large part of this project is new headphones.

In our current classroom we do not have enough headphones for all students. They are cheap and break too easily. Now is not the time to be sharing headphones, especially when digital learning is starting to become a large influence in and outside of the classroom. I want all of my students to have the necessary items to have fun, learn, and overall enjoy being a kid in first grade.
