Learning is Easier with an Easel!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Baranoski's classroom raised $393

My Students

This year, I have a group of twenty-seven, enthusiastic and diverse first graders of all different abilities. They are always eager to do their best and as their teacher, I strive to give them all the materials necessary to reach all their goals.

It is my goal to help students believe in themselves and their abilities; it is crucial to their success.

I want them to grow as students not just academically, but personally and socially as well.

These students deserve the best!

My Project

We currently do not have an easel or individual dry erase boards to use during class. The easel would be a great addition as the students will be able to see lessons more clearly when working together in the meeting area.

Whether to hold big books, anchor charts or shared writing, an easel will make learning easier and more fun!

Individual dry erase boards will allow the students to practice writing letters and numbers. The children will also be able to use the dry erase boards during small groups and during informal assessments.

This will all make learning more fun!
