Help Our Classroom Level Up And Get What We Need

Help me give my students a heavy-duty pencil sharpener and dry erase markers to maximize students learning and encourage participation in class, and fitness balls that will be used for morning movements and as an extra seating option.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Watkins's classroom raised $478

My Project

At my school, many of our children come from poverty. We have a very diverse population.

Our children get excited about learning, and they find appreciation in teachers and the way we take time to make the classroom a comfortable place to learn.

The pencil sharpener will save kids the stress and time of having a broken pencil and no way to sharpen it. The dry erase markers will be used for fun quick assessments. The exercise balls will be used for our light morning stretches and workouts. I plan to also make it into a seat for reading books. The Teacher Pay Teachers gift card will be used to purchase resources for the students.

There are many things we need in my classroom, but the items I placed in the cart will help make my classroom more comfortable for my students.
