Help me Make Virtual Learning Fun Engaging and Successful.

Help me give my students some tools to be successful at home. The headphones will make it easier for them to hear me while at home with their brothers and sisters. The camera will help me record lessons.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Maurer's classroom raised $413

My Students

I can have up to 18 students at a time in my classroom. My students are very diverse ethnically with many being brand new to this country and unable to speak or understand English. Now we are dealing with a new hurdle in virtual learning. I want to make sure they have all the items and tools to be successful at home.

All of these students are at-risk.

Many come from single-parent households while the rest are living in multiple family stacked households. Coming to school is an escape for them, and I try to provide them with a happy, healthy environment where they can feel safe to explore.

My Project

These are just a few of the items I need to help make virtual prek a success. The document camera will help me show the kids what I am doing and I can record myself for them to rewatch. I want to give them headphones to help them be less distracted in their home. The playdoh and paint is for them to be creative at home. Dry erase markers and erasers will help them participate in the online lessons. Flash cards and magna doodle boards will inspire them to learn independently. The ziplock bags will assist me in continuing to send home new items and materials in an organized way.
