Ms. Amacker from Ocean Springs MS is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Find Your Place and Learn!

My students need to be able to move around the classroom and work independently. The rug, listening center, and flexible seating that I wish to add to the classroom will encourage a positive learning environment.

My Students

Welcome to our third grade class! Our class is filled with super heroic children that are excited and eager to learn! We are a classroom community comprised of different personalities, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I want each of them to be able to feel that sense of family and safety as they work together as a team to take ownership of learning! It is my desire to create an environment where my students can thrive and be successful as we learn together!

My Project

My students are engaged through Daily Five centers. The centers give my students the ability to make smart choices. The Daily Five center choices are to work on computers, listen to books, read books, and work on writing and word work all which are integrated into our curriculum.

The students need to be able to move around the classroom and work independently.

The classroom setup will allow my students to take ownership of their choices. The rug and flexible seating will allow my students to choose where they learn best. The listening center will provide my students the ability to work on their level and at their individual pace, all while building successful independent learners.
