Team Work

My students need magnet building pieces to build things they see in the environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. B.'s classroom raised $527

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach inspiring English language learners. The students know that when they are in my room they get my attention, care, and concern.

I teach in a large, diverse, K-5 school, which receives Title I funding.

100% of the children are eligible for free breakfast and lunch. These might be their only meals of the day. The students come to school eager to learn from various living situations such as single parents, foster homes, homeless shelters, or extended family living. I am dedicated to meeting their needs daily, along with building their self-esteem and confidence.

My Project

My students are fascinated by constructing things that they see in their environment. They need to get up and move within their day; they need to work with different materials to express themselves. I have a class full of eager learners. These magnets will be used as a sensory break when my students need a break from reading or writing. They will construct whatever they dream up or read about and the magnets help the structures stay in place. These will also help build fine motor skills. The students will learn to work together and accept each other's ideas and plans for construction. They will strengthen math, logic and science skills while building and having fun. These exciting resources are certainly not in our cash strapped district's budget.

It is important for me to create a safe environment where every one's curiosity and risk taking are valued.

Help me set the children up for success, not failure. Can you help impact my current and future students' lives by donating to this project? Your donation can have rippling effects in the world to make it a better place. They are my students, but our future.
