Magic Mornings

Help me give my students morning table games! I am requesting several games and materials to support these STEM materials to keep my students engaged in the morning and start the day off right as they walk in.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dalton's classroom raised $366

This project is fully funded

My Students

Students in Ms. Dalton's class have a thirst to learn. They are always asking questions, saying "why" and "what if", and love to read. Their curiosity always amazes me and pushes me to be a better teacher for them. We like to learn, but we like to have fun as well. We treat each other like we treat family!

We live in a town where community is always valued.

Just like community is invaluable to the citizens of this city, it is in also invaluable to our classroom. We support each other, we cheer each other on, and we help each other be better!

My Project

I will use these games and STEM materials to build meaningful mornings for my students. Students will have the opportunity to use these games and building toys to start their day.

When students come in, they will be met with games or building materials on their tables.

Doing this gives them meaningful conversations with the students around them. Rather than being confronted with a worksheet, they will be met with something to start their day that engages them and they will look forward to. It provides a calm, structured environment for students to approach on a daily basis with achievable tasks.
