Classroom Organization and Functionality

Help me give my students a better way to listen to content online, as well as to learn in a more organized classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ostler's classroom raised $994

My Students

I teach in a rural area of Utah where my students are learning to work hard and how to be successful learners, not only in the classroom, but in life in general.

My students are excited to explore and learn through hands-on experiences.

They have the determination to think deeply to best understand all that they can and to explore the world around them.

My Project

These resources will be used for many different purposes in our classroom. We will be using the headphones to help listen and learn from online resources. We will then use the information that we have learned about in class and online to create written pieces of works. These works will be published for my students to enjoy for many years after. We will design creative book covers using markers and scissors, laminate our covers, and then bind our projects into books that we will take home to share with our families. We will be able to organize all of our writing supplies, such as paper, in a way that all students will be able to better access materials.

These resources will also help us dig deeper into our knowledge of fossils as we study the past environments of Utah.

We will be able to see first hand how measurement can be used in the world around us as we deepen our knowledge of math concepts, as well as apply our newly gained measurement skills to benefit cross curricular activities.

Lastly, with the sickness that has been going around our classroom, we have used our supply of tissues. The tissues will be used to provide my students with sanitary items that are not going to put a financial strain on families by having to have them donate more items.
