Helping Students Focus Through Engaging Lessons

Help me give my students headphones, a pencil dispenser, and the lessons they deserve.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Stuchell's classroom raised $548

My Project

Focus for students can look very different depending on the day. On most days, having lessons that are engaging requires planning and implementation of lessons that will not only teach students content, but have them actively engage and question it. This can be incredibly difficult to create day in and day out, and having the ability to utilize other teachers' work is essential.

Providing focus is also providing students with the ability to block out the noise of an active classroom and to make sure they can grab a writing utensil when needed.

Given our current pandemic and the need to keep students from handling all of the pencils, a pencil dispenser is necessary. Luckily, a simple straw dispenser will work wonders. All of these items will help provide my students with an environment that is conducive to learning and safety.
