Improving Ms. Shasta’s Classroom!

Help me give my students new manipulatives that encourage hands-on learning with items including sensory bins, and interactive puzzles. I want to create a dedicated space where my students can easily access and store the books they love.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shasta's classroom raised $1,120

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Adding bookshelves to our classroom will create a place to store books for our students to read.

Adding flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them.

During independent work times, they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Adding more supplies, such as scissors, calculators, and manipulatives, will allow for all students to have their own item to use as well as using the manipulated to help improve student engagement.
