Increasing Engagement With Hands-on Project tools

Help me give my students essential classroom tools for third graders to foster curiosity and project skills

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Rivera's classroom raised $698

My Project

Our classroom is a vibrant hub of learning where young minds explore the wonders of the world. From diving into captivating non-fiction science texts to creating engaging projects, our students are constantly developing their critical thinking and creative skills. However, some essential tools are hindering our efficiency and limiting our ability to fully bring learning to life. This project aims to equip our classroom with a reliable black-and-white laser printer, ensure the safety of our technology, provide a tool for precise project preparation, and enrich our science library with engaging non-fiction books.

To help our third graders learn best in an engaged hands-on way, we need a few key things.

First, a fast printer will save class time for projects that needs printing of ideas that requires drawing, cutting, pasting, or organizing thoughts Also, it allow us to quickly and efficiently print worksheets, informational texts, student writing, and other essential materials. Its speed and reliability will significantly improve our workflow and provide students with timely resource. Second, a surge protector will keep our gadgets safe. Third, a paper cutter will help us make neat projects. Fourth, a big calendar will teach them about time. Finally, exciting science books will help them explore and learn about the world around them. These tools will make our classroom better and help students become great learners. Thank you for thinking about helping us!

These supplies will significantly benefit our classroom by increasing efficiency with printing, ensuring tech safety, improving presentation and organization, strengthening time management skills, and fostering deeper engagement in science through captivating books.
