Putting Scholars In The Driver seat

Help me give my students a strong start our year! These supplies will not only help me to meet children where they are in their learning but give them the power to be in charge of their learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Maeve's classroom raised $456

My Project

It's that time of year again! I am excited to get to know my new students and they are excited to get back into the routine. This year as a school we are focusing on students taking charge of their own learning. They will do this by creating goals for themselves and keeping track of their own growth data.

These supplies will help my students be able to graph and track their own data and to help them take charge of their own learning.

My classroom does not currently have a white board so this will help me to give a better visual of expectations and help the students have another material to use in their learning. The clipboards will be used to display their data and help them keep track of their amazing growth! The other supplies will help during small groups and give them hands on approach to their learning.
