Learning Into a Spring Classroom

Help me give my students snacks for incentives, more technology for technology stations, classroom supplies to get the classroom free of germs, markers for boards, and engaging anchor charts!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Funchess's classroom raised $1,641

This project is fully funded

My Project

First, I plan on using the snacks as incentives for my kids. Toward the end of the day, students are feeling tired, hungry, and less motivated. The snacks are great motivators for the kids to keep pushing. Sharpie markers and Expo Markers to keep the anchors charts funny, engaging, and colorful! No one wants to learn from a boring anchor chart! The Lysol wipes and spray is to keep our classroom clean and free of germs! It is so important for me to keep my students safe and in a safe environment every day. Lastly, as the world evolves the classroom should evolve as well. I want to incorporate technology stations in the classroom and pushing my students to learn more by using the iPad in class.
