FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Prayer's classroom raised $1,285

This project is fully funded

My Students

I am a National Board certified teacher in Literacy. I work at a Title I elementary school. Many of my students come from military families due to our location near several bases. Our school is diverse with learning styles, cultures, and interests. My students are hardworking, creative, critical thinkers. My students are future artists, inventors, authors, and natural leaders. Success is at their fingertips and I know that with the right learning environment, I will nurture each and every one of them.

My Project

Research shows that students learn best when they are comfortable. I am requesting several seating options to provide my students with a kid friendly learning environment so that they can learn financial literacy. Students will communicate with Echo Show to understand driving forces in the stock market. Students will speak with Echo to research current stocks and bonds and how technology drives emerging markets. Students will use tag board and the portable printer to document their learning. The computer mice, whiteboard erasers, cleaner, and easel pad will be used to assist students with technology and the design thinking process. The message board will be an interactive tool in which students communicate with each other in a motivational way.

The requested table set with stools will allow students to sit or stand while working.

They will be able to comfortably stand without leaning while using this table that is the right height for them. The requested floor cushions are for my students who like to sit in the hallway or on the floor. Providing my students with seating options is important to me because I want them to be comfortable and feel like they are at home without the restraints of typical classroom desks and chairs.
