Storytime Smackdown

Help me give my students different buzzers, games and supplies in order to make learning fun and engaging.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carmichael's classroom raised $230

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 Project

By donating to our project, you will help provide students with engaging, hands-on learning tools that bring lessons to life. Felt-tip markers will allow students to underline and identify different parts of speech in sentences, making grammar and writing lessons interactive and colorful. Buzzers will transform reading comprehension into a fun, team-based game where students answer questions from passages, fostering collaboration and quick thinking. To add a sense of accomplishment, a trophy will be awarded to the winning team, motivating students to do their best while celebrating their hard work.

Additionally, a Tic Tac Toe game will be used to make learning exciting as students answer questions to mark their X or O on the board.

These activities will not only capture students’ interest but also improve their ability to focus and stay attentive during lessons. They’ll work together, share ideas, and cheer each other on, building confidence, teamwork, and critical thinking skills.

Your support will create a classroom environment where creativity thrives, learning feels like play, and students develop essential skills for academic and personal growth. With your generosity, we can inspire a lifelong love of learning in every child while making each day in the classroom meaningful and fun. Thank you for helping us achieve this goal!
