My Project

This project will help fund some colorful fidgets for my students. Oftentimes in class, kids look for something to do with their hands during work time. These fidgets will help keep them focused and ready to learn.

The project will also help fund colorful paper, colored pencils, and flair pens.

These colorful supplies will help brighten up our work. All of the items requested are colorful attention grabbers, materials, and will help manage our amazing classroom. FInally, a timer to ensure that students make it to class on time to maximize their learning experience.

Grades 6-8
