My Scholars Need To Be Able To Learn

Help me give my students a classroom that is comforting and full of enriching items to help them succeed. Comfortable seating during reading time is important to me. That's why I have asked for two bean bag chairs.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Leisy's classroom raised $292

My Students

Each and every one of my scholars is unique. From doing flips at recess to free handing a piece of art my scholars excel in co-curricular activities.

When it comes to general education I feel as if I do not have the materials to push them towards success.

They are all at different levels which makes teaching difficult at times. I must cater to all of the individual needs my students have, however I honestly believe that with the right materials I can boost the morale within the classroom and make general education fun! By making it fun it will be easier to pay attention and learn.

My Project

My classroom is full of wiggly worms. It is very difficult to keep them on task especially when the subject does not excite them. My goal is to have an interactive classroom where most activities are hands on.

The math materials (money, blocks, 10 squares) will allow my scholars to dive in to math and interact with physical objects.

The rug and bean bag chairs will allow my scholars to sit comfortably while they are reading. Although this will not suffice for all scholars it is a step in the right direction. The fidget toys and velcro will give them something to focus on while directions are being given.
