Movers and Shakers

Help me give my students a more active recess. By providing them with a sports equipment.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Empey's classroom raised $186

My Students

I teach 18 awesome kids. I love that my class is outgoing. They are very excited to learn, and grow. My students show a lot of potential. And this is a very busy year. They are introduced in the third grade to multiplication, division, fractions, area and perimeter. Not to mention this year they learn to read for fun.

This is an opportune time in their lives to expand their futures!

And I can't wait to help them achieve their goals!

My Project

Anything and everything that helps organize a classroom is a benefit. My students could organize all their colored craft items into separate drawers. This would of course cut down on time spent trying to locate items they need for a project. Our school is project based learning, so we do a lot of projects. All of these items would be greatly appreciated.

My class would have a more active recess with these balls and jump ropes.

As of now, my students steal a football from the fourth grade's equipment. This project would allow for another soccer group, and a basketball game. The jump ropes would be wonderful for playing on the blacktop. If the students have a better recess, they are more able to focus on learning while in class.
