It's Our Time to Shine!

Help me give my students a calm, friendly and conducive classroom for learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Paulino's classroom raised $402

My Project

My project is focused on creating a calm and comfortable area for learning and recreation. It emphasizes how the items will increase my students' engagement and motivation. They are more likely to succeed when they are excited and interested in doing the tasks given to them. And this can only be true if they are in a friendly and conducive environment. Adding a wide variety of educational materials, they are more encouraged to learn independently, enabling them to enhance and improve their literacy and numerical skills. My students need carpet circles, craft supplies, wipes, pencils, and reusable write-and-wipe pockets.
