Stretching Our Minds

Help me give my students art and music supplies. These supplies will help their minds grow in new and exciting ways!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gorringe's classroom raised $496

This project is fully funded

My Project

My class is full of gifted and talented third graders. They are eager to learn and explore. They learn quickly and are intrigued by all types of subjects and topics.

These art and music materials will give us the opportunity to stretch our minds and creativity.

In addition to music and art supplies, you will also be helping us by donating some supports for our ADHD students. They want to learn just as much as the regular student, they just need a few modifications and outlets for their energy. By providing alternative seating opportunities, and fidget foot bands, students will be able to focus on learning and exploring new things and not as distracted as usual.

By supporting this project, you are also supplying rewards for behavior. Positive reinforcement is key to classroom management. Students will be able to earn class money to purchase they prizes. They will be so excited to see these supplies in our class store.
