FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nielsen's classroom raised $486

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love to give my students the full experience during our learning. Please help me provide hands on experiences of building a pyramid and excavating a mummy during our Ancient Egypt classroom transformation. My classroom will be transformed into Ancient Egypt. My first graders struggle to understand the concepts of Ancient Civilizations so I would like to provide an immersive learning experience to bring our CLKA Knowledge lessons to life for my students. My students always gain more insight into their learning when I turn my classroom into the places we are studying.
