Comfy Classroom

Help me give my students an echo show, desk pets, and cozy lighting.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Singer Barnas's classroom raised $279

My Project

This project will give our classroom an Amazon Echo Show. We can use this for a timer from anywhere in the room. We can use it as a clock and to play music. We can also use it to answer questions quickly.

We will also restock on DESK PETS.

Students earn desk pets as a reward. They get to create a habitat for their pet and live it on their desk. It’s a motivational incentive for them. The students are very excited to pick their desk pets.

Also, our classroom would get lighting and hooks to hang up around the classroom. This helps create a comfortable environment that supports wellness.

All these new Additions will be exciting for our students.
