Making Class More Interesting

Help me give my students a colorful learning experience while vibing along the way.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cotton's classroom raised $593

My Project

Using colorful papers for hand-outs will aid in students’ interest to learn, as well as having colorful friendly earbuds, so that students could listen to video assignments. Having a hole puncher in class to put holes in hand-outs for our notebook would be extremely helpful.

By providing pencils and paper for students they will have no excuse not to obtain a well-deserved education.

My goal for this project is to ensure that all students are prepared, able, and ready to learn. What makes my students special is the bond in which we have built since the beginning of school. My students know how much I care for them and their learning experience, therefore I will do whatever I can to assist them.
