My Project

Stepping into a third-grade classroom for the first time is both exhilarating and daunting. It's a fresh start, but it also means starting from scratch. As a teacher transitioning from Computer Lab, I'm faced with the task of turning an empty room into an inspiring space for learning. To achieve this, I need essential resources to create an environment where my new third-grade students can thrive.

A cozy rug and decorations may appear as simple additions, but they play a crucial role in setting the tone for our classroom.

They're more than just decorations; they serve as visual cues signaling to my students that they're entering a space crafted for them—a space where they're encouraged to explore, collaborate, and learn. Utilizing fraction bars provides students with hands-on learning opportunities during challenging math lessons. The executive chair serves as a focal point during morning meetings, fostering student engagement and a sense of community, while also providing mobility for dynamic teaching interactions.

Your support in acquiring these resources is crucial. With your help, I can transform this blank canvas into a welcoming and stimulating environment where every student feels valued and empowered. Together, we'll build a community where learning is exciting and where each child can reach their full potential.

Mrs. Crawford will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 16.
