Hands-on and Motivating Following COVID!

Help me give my students a fun and exciting year back face to face following COVID. These hands-on items, colorful decor, and incentives will definitely pique their interest to learn and motivate them!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. White's classroom raised $889

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are a smart and active bunch! They are sweet and passionate in their own way! They are trying very hard to find something they like about math!! I’m trying desperately to meet them halfway and fuel that love with these hands-on activities, colorful decorations, and awesome incentives/rewards!!

My Project

These items will motivate my students through hands-on learning and provide incentives to help motivate them to do their best daily! The decorations will provide a bright and cheerful learning environment. Many students spent the entire year last year virtual and have to adjust to being back in the classroom. Traditional pencil and paper will not be enough to fill the gaps and keep students motivated to learn. I want to bridge gaps and keep students attention. What better way than having them learn through games and activities in a bright and cheerful environment? Hands-on activities and incentives will definitely help!!
