Mrs. Smith's Classroom

Help me give my students fuel for their brains with snacks! The canopy will be a part of my "reading garden" for students to relax and read. I love to challenge students' brains through strategy games like Chess.

My Project

Most of my items are geared towards snacks and strategy games, which both greatly enhance my classroom environment and support student learning. Snacks help ensure that students stay focused and energized throughout the day, especially those who may come to school hungry or need a quick boost to maintain concentration. Strategy games promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills in a fun and engaging way. These resources create a positive and supportive atmosphere where students feel cared for and motivated to participate actively, ultimately leading to improved academic outcomes and social development.

Logistically, the cubby mobile tray and cube shelf will allow a safe place to keep the students' Chromebooks and papers that they will use to create their writing portfolios.

Your generous support will make a meaningful difference in fostering a thriving classroom community. Thank you!
