Building Better Centers

Help me give my students engaging and well-organized learning centers with materials to create interactive games and activities.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Harris's classroom raised $206

My Project

Learning centers are a big part of our classroom, giving students fun and hands-on ways to practice important skills. Whether they’re playing a word game, solving a math puzzle, or working on a partner activity, centers help keep learning exciting! To make our centers even better, I’m requesting materials like timers, markers, file folders, and laminating sheets. These simple supplies will help me create and organize games and activities that my students can use over and over again.

With these materials, I can put together fun learning games, keep everything neat and organized, and make sure my students have what they need to stay engaged.

Laminating sheets will help activities last longer, file folders will keep pieces together, and timers will make learning even more interactive. Having everything set up and ready to go means my students can focus on learning instead of searching for missing pieces or waiting for supplies.

Your support will bring our centers to life and make learning even more exciting for my students. Thank you for helping us build better centers!
