Productive Classroom

My students need bouncy bands and pencils to help them be productive and concentrate.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pyle's classroom raised $426

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our class is full of high energy students who have a difficult time staying in there seat during class time. With the bouncy bands students will be able to get their wiggles out while focusing on the lesson.

Many of my students come from low income families and rarely bring school supplies to school.

Something as simple as having a sharpened pencil each day can set the tone for the day with my students. My class also contains many students who are high energy and would benefit from the bouncy bands.

My Project

With the pencils students will always be able to have a pencil waiting for them if they do not have one or if theirs breaks. The bouncy bands will help students to sit in their chair the correct way and not lean back in their chairs, creating a safety hazard.

Having this project funded will show the students that many people are looking at them to do their best and get a great education.

Students will be able to get that extra energy out while still focusing on the lesson.
