Miss Sanders' Sunshines

Help me give my students the resources they need in order to receive STEM services, hands on learning opportunities, and to be able to mix a little bit of play within their learning experience.

My Students

As a first year teacher, I am so eager to give my students the most hands-on and interactive education that I possibly can in order to secure a successful learning experience for each of them. I am excited to bring my creativity and imagination into the classroom to make learning fun and engaging for all my students.

One of my main goals as a teacher is to make learning fun, yet meaningful for every learner.

With the use of numerous manipulatives and the balance between the use of technology and hands-on learning, every type of learner's needs will be met.

My Project

The purchase of these items will allow my students to be able to physically use their hands to help them learn. With the use of ink pads and stamps, letter beads and water color paint, students will be able to practice their spelling words while having fun. Students need the creativity from the teacher in order to really blossom as learners, with having access to needed supplies, it will make it easier on the teacher to give the students the all around, best learning experience they can.

Let's make learning fun again!

My goal as a teacher is to instill a love for learning again. Help me create a successful, fun, and loving classroom experience to these students who deserve the very best.
