FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. CRANWELL's classroom raised $750

My Project

My students are learning how to do work to their best abilities, how to stay motivated, how to behave appropriately in social settings and academic settings, and mainly to love school. I feel COVID definitely impacted their social abilities. These students were toddlers, missed out on preschool, and being around others. They were with their parents quite a bit. I can tell they need love, they need assistance to be self-directed, and lots of extrinsic motivation to keep them going. The snacks and prizes keep the motivation going on our daily schedule. The supplies are to replenish what we need to finish our year. Some of the supplies are also motivators to keep doing their best as well and make school fun everyday!
