Setting Up a Responsive Classroom

My students need headphone splitters for a listening station, timers, a chime, and a speaker to smooth out transitions, and name tags, an oil diffuser, floor cushions and mindfulness exercises to build a welcoming class community!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Theile's classroom raised $401

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are painters, readers, inventors, writers, mathematicians, athletes, social butterflies, techies, gamers, and dancers. They are witty, sensitive, and self-conscious, as all fourth graders are. And they are filled with joy, curiosity, resiliency, and hope.

Many of my students face serious academic, social, and emotional challenges at school and at home, yet they persevere, and though they are limited by their circumstances, they are unhindered in their creativity and aspirations.

They honestly are all that is good about the world and I am honored to be their teacher.

My Project

Students will be using the requested items in varied ways. The floor cushions and wobble seat will complete our flexible seating options designed to meet students' different learning needs. The timers, chime, and bluetooth speaker will be used to make transitions run smoothly.

The diffuser and essential oils, coupled with the meditative exercises, will be used daily to strengthen students' self awareness and community mindfulness.

The headphone splitter will be used to help students develop fluency and work cooperatively on a single device. And finally, the name tags will be used to ensure that whether its the first week of school, a sub day, or a field trip, that students know and use each others' names.
