Engaging and Comfortable

Help me give my students a productive and exciting year with a Time For Kids subscription, lap desks and beanbags!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Trias's classroom raised $990

My Project

I currently have a class of 27 fourth graders and work with the my teammate's 4th grade class of 25 as well. I teach all the fourth grade students science and social studies while incorporating reading and writing concepts. We are Title I school and my students come from a variety of backgrounds. I have students that are ELL, LD and gifted.

It has been a challenge to come back into the classroom after remote learning due to COVID.

Students have a hard time focusing and keeping that focus for a length of time.

Students learn in various ways. The students would benefit from optional seating: like the lap desks and bean bag chairs. The Time for Kids subscription will help engage the students with authentic news and the critical-thinking skills. This subscription will supplement what I am already doing in the classroom perfectly.
