Headphones, Books, Blending Games, and Prizes!

Help me give my students the gift of sound! My students need headphones, tools for practicing reading and writing, as well as fun prizes for our prize box!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Barkley's classroom raised $520

My Project

The headphones that I need for my class will benefit my students. They will be able to use them when being pulled for computer based testing. Students can hear their own computers at their leisure. Not all parents can afford headphones for their children, so classroom headphones would be very helpful.

Blends, phonics, and letter recognition: these are only the beginning of what skills we work on in our classroom.

Our books, blending games, and literacy based items will benefit students in order to succeed in the area of literacy. These literacy building tools will serve to engage students.

Finally, prizes will guarantee further motivation to help students stay motivated during the day-to-day lessons. Students succeed in their work when they are motivated through our classroom prizes.
