Good Classroom Behavior Is Key to a Successful Learning Environment!

Help me give my students incentives for good behavior. Also some science supplies for making glue that are not included in the kits we get. The students need supplies to help them complete work!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vardoulis's classroom raised $533

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My goals are to improve classroom behavior in my class and have rewards and incentives to encourage kids to follow rules and directions. There are some ingredients in our science kits that they do not provide so the flour and glue are to enhance science projects on how to make glue. The supplies are also to help students learn using highlighters to show evidence in text and white board materials are used for students to show work. Some of the items including the carts are to organize materials and help me as a teacher do my job. Thank you so much for your support!
