Learning Outside of Our Classroom... Within Our Classroom.
Help me give my students improved learning options and quiet brain break options.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ricke's classroom raised $1,198
This project is fully funded
My Project
The items I'm requesting will serve two purposes for my students with special needs. They will help us to learn about and experience our world from within our classroom, often without being restricted and challenged by getting all our information from text. Using the Occulus Quests we can virtually visit places all over the world, play learning games and take quiet brain breaks while others in our space are working.
Other items are also for our brain breaks.
We work “hard”, so it's important that we give our brains a chance to recharge with fun activities like art and motor activities. Bubbles, binders of coloring pages, decorating with stickers help give us that 'reboot' that let us tackle our next subject.
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
