Printer! Headphones! Recess Equipment…Oh My!

Help me give my students access to playground equipment as well as headphones for classroom use! A colored printer would help enhance teaching and learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pienkoski's classroom raised $953

My Students

I have 30 very energetic and lively 4th grade students. They love school, love to learn and are so thrilled to be back in the classroom with their peers! My class ranges from kids working at, below and above grade level.

My Project

Our grade level was finally given access to a laptop cart…yay! We have the opportunity to share 30 computers with 90 students and have access to great website subscriptions to help students with math and reading. All of these sites are interactive and require headphones for the kids to use the site to its full potential. With COVID, I can’t bring myself to ask parents to supply headphones for their child’s use at school. The same goes with playground equipment. The kids are able to use playground equipment at recess (yay!) but the equipment needs to stay at school. A color printer would help me to print color rich materials to enhance my teaching.
