Marvelous Materials to Engage Learners

Help me give my students the materials to help them become organized, self-sufficient learners.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ellis's classroom raised $525

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Ensuring ALL students are engaged can be challenging. These materials will help teachers check for student understanding and participation. Magnetic materials will be used on the rolling whiteboard to aid small-group learning or the entire class as manipulatives. The folders will be used to personalize student learning.

This project aims to ensure that ALL students are participating in and directing their learning.

These materials may seem basic, but they are going to have a great impact on creating opportunities for students to become self-sufficient and self-directed learners. Our students need guidance to achieve this, and these materials will be a foundation for that endeavor.

Ms. Ellis Garinger High School Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
