Learning Should Be Fun!

Help me give my students the things they need to make school fun! I am looking to create an environment that allows students to learn in a fun but productive way.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Seals's classroom raised $586

My Project

I have the pleasure of teaching amazing 7th graders on the South Side of Chicago. My students are resilient and determined, and that alone makes them awesome. However, their individuality makes them special. I want to create an environment that is rewarding, safe, and fun for my students.

The candy, stickers, and fidget toys I requested for the class will be used as incentives for their amazing work (they will receive good behavior tickets and small incentives for their gains).

My hope is that these things will make them more excited about math class.
