FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Berrong's classroom raised $598

My Students

My students have a wide arrange of abilities academically and require being exposed to the same idea in multiple ways in order to grasp a new concept.

My students are lively, artistic, sponges ready to learn what I throw at them!

These children have an internal need to learn. I attempt to do my best to meet their needs.

My Project

I was lucky enough to receive 20 headphones at the beginning of the year. Now, I have 25 students. We did a great job at sharing, but now because of the new Covid cases, we need to go back to our procedures from last year. All students cannot share their items, headphones being one of them. I am asking for 10 more headphones. I am also asking for strong storage for the headphones. Right now, they are in ziplock bags, but they are becoming torn. I am also asking for over 20 multicultural books for the class. You can never have too many multicultural books!
