This teacher needs your help!

Ms. C. from Bridgeport, CT is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Sports Equipment

Help me give my students an incentive to remain on good behavior! My students absolutely love to enjoy time outside on the playground. Whenever possible, I enjoy bringing them outside to run and play with their peers.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. C.'s classroom raised $366

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 Project

I love that my students like to exercise and play with each other. When they are able to move and play it is much easier to get them to learn in the classroom. When they behave I am able to reward them with time outside. My goal is to have the equipment for them to play their games and move their bodies every day.

In addition, they sometimes get cuts and scrapes and need Band-Aids so that I can apply bandages and they can keep moving!

Lastly, a snack when they come inside.

Ms. C. Barnum School Grades 6-8
