FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Melford's classroom raised $340
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
Creating an optimal classroom environment is essential for maximizing student engagement and learning. Simple items like scissors, binders, fidget toys, and drinks play pivotal roles in enhancing the classroom experience.
In conclusion, incorporating scissors, binders, fidget toys, and drinks into the classroom can significantly enhance the educational experience.
Scissors promote hands-on learning and creativity, binders support organizational skills and efficiency, fidget toys aid in focus and stress relief, and drinks ensure students remain hydrated and attentive. When thoughtfully integrated, these items contribute to a well-rounded and supportive classroom environment, paving the way for improved learning outcomes and a more positive experience for both students and educators.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
