Making Learning Fun!

Help me give my students ink for printed activities to reinforce what they are learning in class and storage containers where they can store and organize their materials. Also, some fidget toys to develop their fine motor skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. M's classroom raised $308

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students have a deficiency in phonics and therefore, they need activities to help them advance in reading. Some students struggle with recognizing their letters and sounds. The ink will help to print interactive worksheets for my students and letter puzzles to make learning more fun.

Help revitalize our classroom and help us continue to have success.

The storage organizers will be useful for students to store their extra materials away safely and neatly. A Birthday Chart will keep track of students' birthdays, so we will be able to celebrate their special days. The fidget toys are for students to help develop their fine motor skills for those who are struggling to form their letters properly.
