Supplies for a New Year!

Help me give my students a fun, collaborative classroom environment this school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Doran's classroom raised $982

My Project

When cleaning out my classroom to prepare for the upcoming year, I noticed some key parts of an inviting classroom environment were missing. We have a lack of indoor recess games and learning tools that will teach students to work together...and have fun! Not to mention, our classroom rug is far too small for my second graders.

Help me give my students a collaborative and inviting classroom environment as we head into the new school year.

With these materials, all students will have a spot on the rug, I can create a more inviting classroom library, and students will have the opportunity to engage in play based learning each morning.

The magnetic building tiles, building discs, and magnetic building cubes will help me create morning bins so students can have a slower start to the mornings and learn to share. Further, the kinetic sand and twister games will give students the opportunity to work and play together during indoor recess.

My students are great at using technology, but are given little opportunity to use it in small groups due to the resources we have in our room. i am requesting a A Wonder Workshop Dash Coding Robot ll for students to use.

All of these materials will help me optimize my teaching and foster a collaborative and hands on learning environment instead of completing worksheets.
