FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ryan's classroom raised $343

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our small, shared classroom serves students from low-income and socioeconomically challenged backgrounds. These bright learners thrive when given the right tools to support their focus, comfort, and engagement. We are seeking funding for flexible classroom resources—an adjustable standing desk, a mobile whiteboard, wobble chairs, whisper phones, and other essential supplies—to create a dynamic and inclusive learning environment that meets every student's needs.

Due to limited space and resources, our students often share desks, lack opportunities for movement, and struggle with concentration.

We aim to:

Promote physical comfort and movement with a standing desk and wobble chairs, reducing restlessness and increasing attention.

Encourage active teaching and collaboration using a mobile whiteboard, allowing us to shift instruction to different parts of the room or accommodate shared teaching spaces.

Support quiet reading and phonics practice with whisper phones, helping students build fluency without distractions.

Stock basic classroom supplies like markers, dry erase boards, organizers, and sensory tools to ensure every student has the materials needed for success.
