Help me give my students supplies and incentives to enhance their learning environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Tysinger's classroom raised $325

My Project

The students I teach come from different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. I teach first graders at a Title I school. I am fortunate to have a diverse group of students. At our school, we have a high poverty level. All of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Several students receive special education resource and ELL services. One thing all my students have in common is that they love learning. My students are in need of some materials. The paper, card stock, lamination, tape, desk tags, and markers will help create an enhanced learning environment. Students will use materials to create and display their work. The fidgets and starburst will be used as incentives. Students get excited about earning rewards for their work.

The supplies and incentives will enhance the classroom environment.

These supplies will enhance the classroom that I strive to create.

Please consider supporting my students. You will be making a difference in their future by helping students build life long skills with these learning materials.
