Help My Students Get Excited About Learning!

Help me give my students engaging learning materials to promote excitement in school!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Smith's classroom raised $1,003

My Project

This project will help students get excited about learning. Using a combination of hands on materials and books of interest, students will develop excitement for their classroom activities.

COVID has been extremely impactful on student learning and has led to students that have never had hands on activities.

By providing students with engaging material, we are hoping to close the learning gap and once again get students excited about learning.

The Makey Makey supplies will help students with coding and discovery of hands on science concepts that have been challenging in the past 2 years.
