FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nardella's classroom raised $995

My Project

These supplies will set my students up for success for enrichment and social emotional learning. Each student will get a set of supplies to help keep themselves organized throughout the day so when they are participating in enrichment and SEL, all of their materials are in one place. Students will have journals to reflect on their thoughts and emotions during the day. We teach reflection as a tool for SEL. Students will have all materials on hand to use this strategy to be able to get back on task faster. All of my students can come to school and know that they have the materials they need to be successful. In their binders they will have different sections and their will be enrichment work for students to work on at their level. They can complete this work throughout the day to enrich their learning when they have completed their regular assignments. Having easy access to SEL notebooks and enrichment material will increase students achievement each day.
