Not So ARTSY Class, Teacher Needs Help

Help me give my students create meaningful community-building opportunities in our class.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Medeiros's classroom raised $735

This project is fully funded

My Project

My classes are made up of students who have the desire to attend college but do not always have the support or background to make that dream an immediate reality. The things in my cart will support these goals. The cricket and the subsequent supplies will be used to aid in creating wording, images, etc. for their projects in my class and in their other classes. Many of my students take great pride in their work but are currently paying out of pocket to buy letters/images. I want to give them a maker's space in my classroom for them to use. The band-aids are for the minor scrapes that tend to happen in a classroom where we never seem to have one when needed, and a trip to the health room is a waste of much-needed class time. The volleyballs will be used for team-building activities. And finally, the snacks will be for students who do not have anything to eat for the day, so they can stay focused and do their work.
