My Project

I am thrilled to embark on a mission to enhance the learning experience in my classroom and provide my students with a more engaging and flexible environment. My project aims to introduce flexible seating, cozy carpets, book bins, books about growth mindset, and small group resources to create a vibrant and conducive space for learning. Your support will empower my students to thrive academically and develop crucial skills for the future.

We will replace traditional desks with flexible seating options such as stability balls, wobble stools, and floor cushions.

Foster a dynamic and comfortable atmosphere that supports different learning styles and encourages collaboration.

Cozy carpets will introduce colorful and soft carpets to create designated reading and gathering areas.

Provide a cozy and inviting space where students can comfortably explore books and engage in group activities.

We want to acquire sturdy and attractive book bins to organize our growing classroom library.

Foster a love for reading by making books easily accessible to students and promoting independent reading habits.

We want to add a diverse collection of books that focus on growth mindset, resilience, and perseverance.

Inspire students to develop a positive attitude towards challenges and foster a culture of continuous learning.

We will invest in small group resources such as whiteboards, markers, and manipulatives to facilitate interactive and hands-on learning. We want to enhance the effectiveness of small group instruction and provide targeted support to meet individual learning needs.
