FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Frasca's classroom raised $664

My Project

This project is going to stock my classroom with art supplies and chess boards so my students can develop their minds creatively and intellectually.

In psychology class, we study the theory of multiple intelligences and participate in many activities to demonstrate the theory.

We teach students how to play chess because it involves many types of intelligence. The existing boards are old and need replacing.

Additionally, in all my classes, students have many opportunities to demonstrate their learning through visual arts. Restocking the art supplies, as well as adding new ones that can be used for individual projects, will make my room a better place for learning.
