Building the Classroom I Wish I Had

Help me give my students a more efficient, developmentally appropriate, and positive classroom environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Colburn's classroom raised $950

This project is fully funded

My Project

I've requested the standing desk and document camera so that I am better able to model what is expected of students and give clear instructions. The clicker will allow me to be hands-free when teaching so that I am able to monitor student behavior, circulate the room, and be more efficient with time. The soundbar will be used for educational videos, as well as music to create a positive classroom environment. The sensory table and kinetic sand are to give my students a more holistic educational experience and incorporate hands-on learning and play in our classroom. The calming corner posters are to help build our SEL skills and develop effective strategies for managing emotions.

My goals for this project are to make my classroom more efficient, developmentally appropriate, and catered to student's individual needs.

I believe that the materials and resources I've requested would help me to do this, and enhance learning for all of my students.
