Empowering Students

Help me give my students the tools necessary to gain an optimal learning experience with engaging tools by helping them to be organized and ready for the future.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thomas's classroom raised $899

This project is fully funded

My Project

These products will optimize my students learning in reading, writing, and math due to missing much learning time due Covid-19.

Tools such as the phonics reading set will help boost my English Learning students to be able to read.

The white boards will support the students reading ability while in both small groups and whole class instruction. These tools will help my students to retain and successfully apply their new learning.

The math manipulatives will encourage participation and understanding of new concepts. Finally, the decor will make the learning environment more inviting and help the students to be organized in their thinking and in their workspace.
