First Year Teacher Getting a Better Classroom Set-Up

Help me give my students a more welcoming classroom to come learn mathematics in!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Siebert's classroom raised $853

My Project

With the generous funding received, I plan to create a more engaging and supportive classroom environment that will enhance my students' learning experience. A rolling whiteboard will be used to display key vocabulary and concepts throughout our geometry lessons, making important information easily accessible. This is especially beneficial for my students, who are still building their foundational math skills, as it provides clear, visual support that can help them better grasp challenging topics.

To create a welcoming atmosphere, I plan to hang decorative lights and educational math posters around the room.

The lights will add warmth to the classroom, making it a place where students feel comfortable and motivated to learn. The posters will serve as visual reminders of key geometric concepts, helping students retain information in a way that's both engaging and memorable.

Finally, practical items such as Kleenex and stamps for rewarding student effort will contribute to a positive and nurturing classroom environment. The laminator will be used to create reusable learning materials, ensuring that important resources are always at hand. Together, these supplies will help me build a supportive and inviting space where students can thrive.
