Firsties Essentials
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Buckmelter's classroom raised $472
This project is fully funded
My Project
Please help my firsties enrich their learning with some first-grade essentials.
During assessment time, privacy partitions are essential to ensure accurate evaluations for each child. Years ago, I spent hours making homemade privacy partitions that are now tattered and falling apart and they need to be replaced.
Everything is more fun in color! My kids practice their sight words, spelling, and phonics with washable markers. They also illustrate their writing with markers as well.
Classroom motivational prizes help reinforce desired behavior in a positive way. The students are rewarded with tickets for behavior and completing good quality work. Then they get to shop for fun prizes in our class store.
3D shapes help bring geometry to life! Being able to handle and explore tangible 3D shapes solidifies their understanding of the concept.
This classroom project was brought to life by The Gates Foundation
