Mrs. Muzilla (Dabel) from Madison WI is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Let Them Play!

Help me give my students materials to spark imagination, joy, play and learning! My students need fidgets, art supplies, toys and puzzles for free choice!

My Students

My students are a very creative, energetic, diverse group of learners! My students speak a variety of languages including Arabic and Spanish. Some have lived in our school neighborhood their entire lives and others are brand new to the country and just beginning to learn English.

They all know how to floss, can teach you any of the dances from Fortnite and love to make slime!

They are interested in soccer, Elephant and Piggie, Graphic Novels and Minecraft. They love to learn and are eager to get their hands on the next best book!

My Project

With so much pressure placed on students at an early age with standardized tests and grades, we forget to focus on the social/emotional aspect of learning. My students need materials to use during free choice time, to learn how to interact with one another in an organic way, free from technology and other devices.

They also need fidgets to help them focus during lessons.

I have requested a bunch of "fidgets" for my wiggly learners who struggle to sit still in a more traditional learning environment.

Finally, we need to replace some broken and outdated classroom materials including an upgrade to our listening center with a new (working) cd player and new cases to protect our books on cd.
