Fun Friday for 5th Graders and Restocking Our Pencils

Help me give my students Fun Friday activities, a new pencil sharpener and pre-sharpened pencils.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Grimes's classroom raised $224

This project is fully funded

My Project

It's winter in Philly, our pencil sharpener stopped working, and we are down to our last 15 pencils. We also need some cool, new activities that everyone can partake in during Fun Fridays. This is a time scholars earn for meeting classroom and school-wide expectations.

As a teacher, this makes me happy because it means that they are taking a break from their computers and working cooperatively.

This project will provide students with different types of hands-on activities including friendship bracelet-making kits. The items that I've chosen will provide student engagement, problem-solving, and teamwork.
