My Project

Please help me give my students modeling sand and clay. Students in my class enjoy working and playing together. As a reward for their hard work, the clay and sand are brought out for choice time. Their creative play with the sand and clay is amazing.

The new dynamic microphone will pair with my speaker system so that students will be heard.

Students gain confidence in public speaking when they can hear themselves on the system. Eventually they don't even need to use the microphone and they are able to belt out their words.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
